Our non-profit needs to set up an SQL server to be accessed by an application running on a terminal server (TS is licensed for 25 workstations).
I have a 3 CD set of SQL Server 2005, but I don't know what I need for licensing.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005

The cheapest (free) solution is the Express edition, if you can get along with the limitations:
I am checking to see if the application will support the express version.
The SQL server will be standalone.
I see that SQL 2008 R2 can can handle 10GB of data, but uses only 1GB of memory. I assume that this means that this version will be very much slower than the next highest (Workgroup) which can use 4 GB? I have an x64 server. Will there be any issue with express?
Is there any issue in express of users licenses?
In a more advanced version, how is licensing handled in a thin client environment?

Upping points. Looks like I will need all the help I can get here.

Using is allowed regardless of the commercial status of your organization, so it doesn't matter if you are a "non-profit".
