    Hi,

    I have checked for License information about SQL SERVER 2008, enterprise edition

    SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('LCID'));

    --1033

    select convert(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY ('LicenseType'));

    --disabled

    SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('NumLicenses'));

    --NULL

    also checked at Registry as below

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100

    Here MSSQLLicenseInfo folder name is not available. please tell me, how can an identified License type in SQL SERVER 2008 server?

    Thanks

    By the paperwork when you purchased SQL Server 2008. It is no longer (since SQL Server 2005) kept in the server. It is now all paper based. If you need to know how your SQL Server instance(s) are licnesed you will need to talk to some one in purchasing, perhaps. At a previous employer, they actually have someone whose sole job is to track software licensing such as this. If your organization is like that, then that is where you need to go.
