MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2008 STANDARD EDITION FOR SMALL BUSINESS
These license terms are an agreement between you and
·	the server manufacturer that distributes the software with the server; or
·	the software installer that distributes the software with the server.
Please read them.  They apply to the software named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.  Printed paper license terms, which may come with the software, take place of any on-screen license terms.  The terms also apply to any Microsoft
·	updates, 
·	supplements, 
·	Internet-based services, and
·	support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items.  If so, those terms apply.  If you obtain updates or supplements directly from Microsoft, Microsoft, and not the manufacturer or installer, licenses those to you.
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.  INSTEAD, CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OR INSTALLER TO DETERMINE ITS RETURN POLICY FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR EACH SOFTWARE LICENSE YOU ACQUIRE.
1.	OVERVIEW.
a.	Software.  The software includes
·	server software; and
·	additional software that may only be used with the server software directly, or indirectly through other additional software.
b.	License Model.  The software is licensed based on
·	the number of instances of server software that you run; and
·	the number of devices and users that access instances of server software.
c.	Licensing Terminology. 
·	Instance.  You create an “instance” of software by executing the software’s setup or install procedure. You also create an instance of software by duplicating an existing instance.  References to software in this agreement include “instances” of the software.
·	Run an Instance.  You “run an instance” of software by loading it into memory and executing one or more of its instructions. Once running, an instance is considered to be running (whether or not its instructions continue to execute) until it is removed from memory.
·	Operating System Environment.  An “operating system environment” is 
·	all or part of an operating system instance,  or all or part of a virtual (or otherwise emulated) operating system instance which enables separate machine identity (primary computer name or similar unique identifier) or separate administrative rights, and 
·	instances of applications, if any, configured to run on the operating system instance or parts identified above. 
There are two types of operating system environments, physical and virtual. A physical operating system environment is configured to run directly on a physical hardware system. The operating system instance used to run hardware virtualization software (e.g. Microsoft Virtual Server or similar technologies) or to provide hardware virtualization services (e.g. Microsoft virtualization technology or similar technologies) is considered part of the physical operating system environment.  A virtual operating system environment is configured to run on a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system. A physical hardware system can have either or both of the following:
·	one physical operating system environment
·	one or more virtual operating system environments.
·	Server.  A server is a physical hardware system capable of running server software.  A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate physical hardware system.
·	Assigning a License.  To assign a license means simply to designate that license to one device or user.
2.	USE RIGHTS.
a.	Assignment of the License to the Server.  The software license is permanently assigned to the server with which the software was distributed.  If the server has multiple hardware partition(s) or blade(s), you must permanently assign that license to one of the hardware partition(s) or blade(s).    That server is the licensed server for that particular license. You may assign other software licenses to the same server, but you may not assign the same license to more than one server.  A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate server.
b.	Running Instances of the Server Software.  You may run any number of instances of the server software in one physical or virtual operating system environment on the licensed server at a time.  The operating system environment in which instances of the server software run must be joined to a domain that has Active Directory configured as follows:
§	A single server in the domain must contain all the flexible single master operations (FSMO) roles and is the root of the Active Directory forest,
§	no trust relationships with any other domains,
§	no child domains, and
§	the sum of users and devices in the domain cannot exceed 75.
You may not run instances of the server software, separately licensed or otherwise, at the same time in another operating system environment within the same domain.
c.	Running Instances of the Additional Software.  You may run or otherwise use any number of instances of additional software listed below in physical or virtual operating system environments on any number of devices.  You may use additional software only with the server software directly, or indirectly through other additional software.  
·         Business Intelligence Development Studio
·	 Client Tools Backward Compatibility
·         Client Tools Connectivity
·         Client Tools Software Development Kit
·         Management Studio
·         Integration Services
·         SQL Client Connectivity SDK
·         Microsoft Sync Framework
·         SQL Server 2008 Books Online 
d.	Creating and Storing Instances on Your Servers or Storage Media.  You have the additional rights below for each software license you acquire.
·	You may create any number of instances of the server software and additional software.
·	You may store instances of the server software and additional software on any of your servers or storage media.
·	You may create and store instances of the server software and additional software solely to exercise your right to run instances of the server software under any of your software licenses as described (e.g., you may not distribute instances to third parties).
e.	Included Microsoft Programs.  The software contains other Microsoft programs.  The license terms with those programs apply to your use of them.
3.	ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.
a.	Client Access Licenses (CALs).
i.	You must acquire and assign a SQL Server 2008 Small Business CAL to each device or user that accesses your instances of the server software directly or indirectly.  You may assign up to a total of seventy-five CALs to permit access to your licensed instances of the server software.  A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.
·	You may not access instances of the server software under Workgroup Edition CALs, however, you may use your other SQL Server 2008 CALs instead of the Small Business CAL to access your instances of the server software.
·	You may use your Windows Small Business Server (“SBS”) 2008 CAL Suite for Premium Users or Devices instead of SQL Server 2008 CALs to access your instances of the server software within an SBS 2008 domain.
·	You do not need CALs for any of your servers licensed to run instances of the server software.
·	You do not need CALs for up to two devices or users to access your instances of the server software only to administer those instances.
ii.	Types of CALs.  There are two types of CALs: one for devices and one for users.  Each device CAL permits one device, used by any user, to access instances of the server software on your licensed servers.  Each user CAL permits one user, using any device, to access instances of the server software on your licensed servers.  You may use a combination of device and user CALs.
iii.	Reassignment of CALs.  You may
·	permanently reassign your device CAL from one device to another, or your user CAL from one user to another; or
·	temporarily reassign your device CAL to a loaner device while the first device is out of service, or your user CAL to a temporary worker while the user is absent.
·	
b.	Maximum Instances.  The software or your hardware may limit the number of instances of the server software that can run in physical or virtual operating system environments on the server.
c.	Multiplexing.  Hardware or software you use to
·	pool connections,
·	reroute information, and
·	reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the software, or
·	reduce the number of devices or users the software directly manages,
(sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce the number of licenses of any type that you need.
d.	No Separation of Server Software.  You may not separate the server software for use in more than one operating system environment under a single license, unless expressly permitted.  This applies even if the operating system environments are on the same physical hardware system.
e.	Fail-over Server.  For any operating system environment in which you run instances of the server software, you may run up to the same number of passive fail-over instances in a separate operating system environment for temporary support.  You may run the passive fail-over instances on a server other than the licensed server.
4.	PRODUCT KEYS.  The software requires a key to install or access it.  You are responsible for the use of keys assigned to you.  You should not share the keys with third parties.  You may not use keys assigned to third parties.
5.	INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.  Microsoft provides Internet-based services with the software.  It may change or cancel them at any time.
6.	.NET FRAMEWORK AND POWERSHELL SOFTWARE.  The software contains Microsoft .NET Framework and PowerShell software.  These software components are part of Windows.
7.	BENCHMARK TESTING.  You must obtain Microsoft's prior written approval to disclose to a third party the results of any benchmark test of the software.  However, this does not apply to the Windows components.  For Microsoft .NET Framework see below.
8.	MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK.  The software includes one or more components of the .NET Framework (“.NET Components”).  You may conduct internal benchmark testing of those components.  You may disclose the results of any benchmark test of those components, provided that you comply with the conditions set forth at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406.  Notwithstanding any other agreement you may have with Microsoft, if you disclose such benchmark test results, Microsoft shall have the right to disclose the results of benchmark tests it conducts of your products that compete with the applicable .NET Component, provided it complies with the same conditions set forth at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406.
