Explanations on the number of users of Windows Server and SQL Server)

When purchasing Windows Server and SQL Server, the keyword "Number of users" will be increased. At first, many people, including me, thought they could be installed on computers with limited number of users. This is actually wrong. It is also difficult to find a clear answer to relevant explanations on the network. People who know it think it is too simple and not worth mentioning. People who do not know it still do not know it. The following explains how to contact Microsoft customer service.

First, the number of operating system users: that is, the number of users connecting to the computer through the network at the same time. Take the 5-user operating system and the file server set up as an example, five network users can access the file server at the same time.

The following describes SQL server. There are two ways to buy a database: 1. Purchase Based on the number of users. 2. Purchase Based on the number of CPUs.

If you purchase a database of 50 users based on the number of users, the maximum number of users who can access the database over the network is 50.

The number of database accesses purchased based on the number of CPUs is unlimited. The number of CPUs on the server requires several authorized SQL servers. However, if you only buy one authorized database, the database can run normally, however, Microsoft deems your database illegal. Just like a pirated system.

 

 

Number of Windows Server users (Client Access License Cal)

For example, if you have five users, you can use five clients to remotely log on to Windows without affecting each other. Authorized access refers to the user or application between the server operating system and the user or device.ProgramCredential exchange. Web applications (unauthorized access mode) are not restricted by the number of users.
