There is no way to tell if you will have performance problems or not because it depends on the processor, amount of RAM, complexity of the queries, etc.

You can distribute SQL Express applications with no problems.


>I am planning to migrate Visual Foxpro application ( as we know no royalties paid for database/runtime ) to Winforms/C# + SQL Server Express 2005, if organization doesn't SQL Server 2000/2005 licence already with other application(s).
>My application is mainly read-only reference system.
>Am I right in thinking that we shouldn't expect performance penalties let's say for 20 simultaneous users ( which run only queries ) in case of conventional LAN or Citrix/Terminal Server given that application uses most of SQL Server Express 2005 can give us correctly ( properly architected in other words)
>Also any legal issues with distributing free ( or not free ) applications with SQL Server Express 2005.
