MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2008 WEB EDITION 
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you.  Please read them.  They apply to the software named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.  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.
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.  INSTEAD, RETURN IT TO THE RETAILER FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT.  If you cannot obtain a refund there, contact Microsoft or the Microsoft affiliate serving your country for information about Microsoft’s refund policies.  See www.microsoft.com/worldwide.  In the United States and Canada, call (800) MICROSOFT or see www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR EACH SERVER YOU PROPERLY LICENSE.
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 physical and virtual processors used by operating system environments in which you run 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.
·	Physical and Virtual Processors.  A physical processor is a processor in a physical hardware system. Physical operating system environments use physical processors. A virtual processor is a processor in a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system. Virtual operating system environments use virtual processors. A virtual processor is considered to have the same number of threads and cores as each physical processor on the underlying 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.	Licensing a Server.  Before you run instances of the server software on a server, you must determine the required number of software licenses and assign those licenses to that server as described below.
i.	Determining the Number of Licenses Required.  You must first determine the number of software licenses you need.  The total number of software licenses required for a server equals the sum of the software licenses required under (A) and (B) below.
(A)	To run instances of the server software in the physical operating system environment on a server, you need a software license for each physical processor that the physical operating system environment uses.
(B)	To run instances of the server software in virtual operating system environments on a server, you need a software license for each virtual processor that each of those virtual operating system environments uses.  If a virtual operating system environment uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor.
b.	Assigning the Required Number of Licenses to the Server.  
i.	After you determine the number of software licenses you need for a server, you must assign that number of software licenses to that server. That server is the licensed server for all of those licenses. You may not assign the same license to more than one server. A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate server.
ii.	You may reassign the software license, but not within 90 days of the last assignment.  You may reassign a software license sooner if you retire the licensed server due to permanent hardware failure.  If you reassign a license, the server to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed server for that license.
c.	Running Instances of the Server Software.  For each server to which you have assigned the required number of software licenses, you may run, at any one time, any number of instances of the server software in physical and virtual operating system environments on the licensed server.  However, the total number of physical and virtual processors used by those operating system environments cannot exceed the number of software licenses assigned to that server.
d.	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 Books Online
e.	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).
f.	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.	No Client Access Licenses (CALs) Required for Access.  You do not need CALs for other devices to access your instances of the server software.
b.	No Line of Business Applications.  The software may be used only to support public and Internet accessible Web
·	pages,
·	sites,
·	applications, and
·	services
It may not be used to support line of business applications (e.g. Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Resource Management and other similar applications).
c.	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.
d.	Multiplexing.  Hardware or software you use to
·	pool connections,
·	reroute information,
·	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.
e.	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.
f.	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.  The number of processors used in that separate operating system environment must not exceed the number of processors used in the corresponding operating system environment in which the active instances are running.  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.	MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK AND POWERSHELL SOFTWARE.  The software contains Microsoft .NET Framework and PowerShell software.  These software components are part of Windows.
