| Hi Admin,
just to clarify: you need an MCMS enterprise license for every CPU of the 4
servers.
So if these 4 servers are single proc machines you need 4 licenses
If the 4 servers are dual proc machiens your need 8 licenses
And so on.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi,
I would like to re formulate the question
Is it possible to use STANDARD License on 4 machines with 1 CPU from a
technical point of vue , using a Radware WSD Load Balancer with sticky
IP and sticky session, so that each user will always use the same
machine , while the SQL server is running on a single server .
Is there a TECHNICAL problem to use that architecture, futhermore is
there a licensing problem ?
Thanks,
Patrick

| HI Patrick,
you can only point 1 MCMS Standard Edition to 1 SQL Database;
if you have 1 SQL Database and several MCMS Standard Edition boxes pointed
to it MCMS will run in violation mode.
So load balancing isn't an issue but you would need several sql databases to
attach to (which isn't really a problem because you could setup an internal
authoring server and then site deploy to N MCMS Std servers).
Regards

| Hi Angus,
your statement is wrong!
It is a licensing violation to load balance Standard Edition Servers!
Please have a look at the following chart about what is allowed to do with
Standard Edition and what not:

| Hi Patrick,
no this would be a licensing violation as it is not allowed to load balance
standard edition servers.
See here for details:
http://www.microsoft.com/cmserver/d...on/editions.asp
Cheers,
Stefan
