Per Seat Mode

Under the Per Seat licensing mode, each client computer requires a Client Access License to connect to any Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 computer for data access purposes. Once a client computer is licensed, it may be used to access any Microsoft SQL Server computer at no additional charge.

If you select the Per Seat licensing mode, any number of licensed computers can be used to connect at the same time to any Microsoft SQL Server. You must purchase a separate Client Access License for each computer, even if you use client data access software from Microsoft, from a third-party vendor, or from any other client software supported by Windows NT Server.

The Per Seat option is often the most economical one for networks in which clients tend to connect to more than one server.

To review the Per Seat licensing agreement, see the Client License Access Agreement or the online Help for the Licensing application in the Control Panel.
