SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition

    I was recently handed a win2k server with Developer Edition installed.  I am trying to locate the licensing info. but when I go into control panel there is no SQL Server Licensing option there.  Does anyone have any ideas on where this information is located within SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition?  I executed the following query but it only returned with 'Disabled':

    declare @sqlbootvalue int

    exec @sqlbootvalue = master..xp_qv '3056284410'

    select @sqlbootvalue

    select case when @sqlbootvalue = 0 then 'PER SEAT'

    when @sqlbootvalue = 1 then 'PER CLIENT'

    when @sqlbootvalue = 2 then 'PER PROCESSOR'

    else 'DISABLED' end

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I believe developer edition is licensed differently. There isn't a per processor or client AFAIK. You cannot use this for production. You'd need to uninstall, then reinstall the server version and attach your dbs.

    From the SQL Server Licensing FAQ

    http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.asp

    SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition is licensed per developer and must be used for designing, developing, and testing purposes only.
