sql server 2008 R2 licencing question

  • If I have device cals and a server cal for sql server 2008 R2 does the device cal allow me to install client tools on the cd to connect to server functionality (e.g BIDS, SSMS etc).

  • Yes, the device CAL allows you to install client tools for all licensed devices, no matter what kind of operations you perform on the server.

  • A device or client CAL should give you the right to install client tools, but if you are unsure, call MS licensing and ask.
