Hello room,
I hosted my SQL Server 2005 standard edition with a hosting company.
We purchased or paid the SQL Server 2005 license.
However, the hosting company requested us to pay the license fees for the second year.
Questions:
When I purchased the SQL Server, how long the SQL license will last?
Thanks,
Edwin

for corporate there will be an anuual licence cost, it wont be as high as the intial purchase but still needs to be paid.

Don't put complete faith in those numbers, as they don't line up with what we pay per license annually, but that may be because we are a premier customer and carry the licenses on software assurance.

For the definitive answers, call the licensing folks at:

Licensing –Microsoft, Contact

(800) 426-9400

The will have the best information for you. Is this a dedicated hosted machine that only you use, or do you share this server with others? I would be suspicious of the rebilling of licensing from a hosting company personally.

No problem Edwin. It is always best to address licensing questions directly to Microsoft. It can be confusing how things actually work together and what exactly you need to cover the various scenarios. Pricing is also one of those things that they are the best resource to handle, especially if you are in disagreement with the hosting provider on what you should or should not be being charged.
