Hi, all
I have a licensing question for you. We have a Select Agreement (actually, an Enterprise Agreement) which includes SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008). Some of us also have MSDN licenses. The MSDN versions may have been installed onto production servers. Is it possible to change the license number from that of the MSDN to our SA? I want to check to make sure that all of our production servers have the SA license number and not the MSDN so that we're in compliance.
Perhaps the broader question is whether or not it even matters. Does the license number in the software make a difference if we are paid up and licensed through the SA or EA?
Also, is the media/installation any different? I expect that the MSDN and Volume Licensing versions would be the same. It would be awful if we would have to re-install.
Again, I want to make sure that we're in compliance and won't hurt ourselves down the road. Thanks a ton!
