We have a MSSQL with per seat license of 20. The MSSQL is sitting in the same
machine as the asp.net.

Does that mean that the the no. of connections and Max Pool Size are limited
up to 20 only?

Thanks,
Ben
 
If you are sitting at 20 CALs, no more than 20 clients can ever be connected
at one time. While I am not sure there is a definitive answer on the pooling
size, I would not have a pool larger than 20, as you only have 20 licenses.
The 21st person to get a connection object would violate the license.

asp.net connection pooling has no knowledge of mssql licensing.

note: your cals cannot be used for an internet app.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to confirm one thing:
With 20 CALs, the no. of process ID's for the procedures that the web
application (using sp_who) called is up to 20 only?

Thanks,
Ben
 
Hi,

Thanks for the info.

Does that mean that I have to use Per Processor license mode for an internet
or intranet app?

Thanks,
Ben
 
Nah...

You will be able to get/process as many
requests as your clients request.

It's just that you'll be in technical violation
of your license agreement if you do.

There's no hard-wired limit.

It's up to you, and your sense of fair play,
or up to Microsoft lawyers if they find out.
