Hello,<br />
<br />
We currently have SQL Server 2000. With one disc, we can install it on our dedicated server, and our web server laptops.<br />
<br />
We're considering upgrading to SQL Server 2005. Will the disc allow installation on multiple boxes, or will it know it's been installed and say &quot;Sorry, can't install again&quot;?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

How many installations can it handle?

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
