Hi,<br />
<br />
As the title suggests - I have an existing SBS 2008 Standard box, and would like to add SQL Standard 2008 to this.<br />
<br />
I know I can install the &quot;SQL 2008 for Small Business Server&quot; if I upgrade to Premium SBS, but I dont want to do that as I already have the SQL 2008 Standard software and CALs.<br />
<br />
I also know that I cannot purchase SBS 2008 Premium with 5 CALs and then use the the SQL 2008 Standard CALs I own to cover licencing.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know the answer?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
Ben

Can I install SQL Standard (non SBS version) on to my SBS 2008 Standard Server?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
