Hi,

We are have a 5 user licenced microsoft sql server 2000 cd. We need to
set this up to run two instances of the server, as we need different
setups on both databases. Does anyone know if with one cd you can do
this, so that the user licences installed are shared between the two
instances? Also do you need a aeperate server licence per instance or
if using the user license model we can install both instances from the
same cd.

Thanks for your help & time

David

It's my understanding that with Enterprise version you can install
multiple instances per server but with Standard you can't (or you're
not supposed to). I'm pretty sure you would be able to use the same CD
to do so.
