Here is a quotation from MSFT of what their SQL Server 2005 Standard is:
The Server plus User/Device Client Access License (CAL) licensing mode offers a server license for each operating system environment running an instance of SQL Server, and a CAL for each client user/device accessing the server. This is a server license with 5 User/Device CALs, meant for SQL Server Standard Edition 2005.
It means nothing to me because I want to know if I can load the SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 on to my computer, develop a database and move the database to my host server and have many people contribute information to my database.
Microsoft's description, of course, doesn't answer the question.
I am very anxious to know if the standard edition does what I want it to do and I would be interested in knowing what MSFT is actually saying.
Thank you for your replies.

Check out the included link.
Also, based on your description it sounds like you will want developer edition on your computer. You can move that database to the server when you are complete with your development for multiple users.

The "editions" determine which features are available and how much CPU/Memory/ etc. they can use.
What is your OS? Some versions do not run on some OS's. If you are developing something and then plan to move it to a server OS, you probably do want Developer edition on your workstation and then Workgroup/Standard or Enterprise on our server.

Thank you. I followed your link and found info that made sense.
Yes. I'm a developer who wants to move the developed website to a host server. I don't want to run a server that that is part of the world wide web.
I am now looking into the relationship of SQL Server developer and Visual Studio 2008 standard. Perhaps that combination will give me something to produce a database web site.

Yes, Visual Studio and SS 2008 should give you a great start! Glad the link helped.
