Development Edition

    Can we get one copy of the Dev Edition and install it on three PCs to make it available to three different developers? Or do we need to purchase one copy per developer? Is there any limitation on how many times or places it is installed as long as it is not used for production purposes?

    Or if I install it centrally, is there any kind of limitation on users/seats, etc? (The answer to this looks like "no limitation" from what I've read ...)

    Thanks -

    From http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/developer/default.mspx

    Developer Edition allows developers to build and test any type of application with SQL Server on 32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms. Developer Edition includes all of the functionality of Enterprise Edition, but is licensed only for development, test, and demo use. Each license of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition entitles one developer to use the software on as many systems as necessary and additional developers can use the software by purchasing additional licenses. For rapid deployment into production, Developer Edition can easily be upgraded to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.

    C'mon you didn't think MS would make you do any less than per user licensing did you?

    Besides at like $50 per (retail) it's not that bad... you can perhaps even get it a bit cheaper via volume licensing.
