If I want to set up a smart client application where I have, let's say, 30 clients accessing SQL Server 2005 on our machine (I know I need 30 licenses).

Does that mean, though, getting your ES license packs as well as the User CALs from Microsoft (60 licenses)?  Thus about $150 per license from them and about $25 per license from you?

And I guess the ES license has to be renewed every year but the User CALs don't?

Thanks

Those answer alone made it worth it to make my boss renew our Strataframe framework license.

I'll take this info and pass it on.  Now at least I got 2 others who got my back.
