  Licensing - I've read it till it's coming out my ears and it still confuses me!

  I have a single SQL 2000 server with 20 SQL 2000 cal's. I upgrade the server to SQL 2005. Do I need to buy new SQL 2005 cal's or will my old ones work?

  cheers

  seems to indicate you can upgrade your cals but I don't know what version of 2005 you would buy.
