NT server licensing is sold per connection per server. If this were an Internet application, you'd require an Intenrnet access license, which is issued per server processor, and allows an unlimited connection via the Internet through IIS, licensed per server processor.


I think my licensing is OK. The license is per server. The COM (a single instance) sits in the middle receiving update requests form users and then passing them along to SQL Server. No user connects to SQL Server directly.
