Use MSDE in application

[Grey]

Dear all

I want to know that can i use MSDE as database server for deploying application. Is it necessary to buy any licence if I use MSDE as database server in Windows 2000 server. Moreover, is MSDE designed for multiple users access like SQL Server?

Million Thanks

Eric

You can download and use for free. The license may require owning a
developer tool. I know of no license for MSDE, but you should check the EULA
before deploying.

MSDE is not designed for mutiple users in the same manner as SQL Server. It
is limited to five simulataneous connections. This does not mean only 5
people can use the app, however, if you instantiate connection objects JIT
(Just-in-Time, ie right before you do work) and close them ASAP (As soon as
possible, or right after you finish the work). If the app is being hit by
thousands of users in an hour, you will end up running out of connections at
some point.
