Hi,
I think you buy the server with a limited number of clients licenses. The tool to administrate the Server is not limited to a number of installations.
Well, that's what the responsible person for things like that in our organisation says, but it sounds reasonable
Cheers,
Frank

Enterprise Manager is legal so long as you have a license for SQL Server.

Actually, I believe you need a CAL OR a licensed "seat" on the server.

Whether you need a CAL or not depends on the licensing mode of your SQL Servers. If you use per-processor licensing, CALs are not used.

Doh! I should have been much more specific. As long as the client is validly licensed, as DRBuckingham indicates, whether by CAL or per-processor, SQL Server tools can be installed. Licensing and pricing FAQ:
