Hi,

No where on the site can I find a definitve answer to
this faitrly basic licensing questoin:

Can I use the Enterprise Edition of SQL Notifiactions
Service on a single server with Standard SQL Server 2000,
or do I need Enterprise SQL Server 2000 on the server?

If someone coudl answer this, please....

Miriam,
The edition of SQL-NS you use must match the edition of SQL Server. So if
you want to use Enterprise Edition of NS, you must have enterprise edition
of SQL Server.

You are correct that the NS web page does not seem to spell this out
clearly. I will get the page updated - thanks for bringing this to our
attention.

Actually, I need to clarify something in my previous post...

You can SQL-NS enterprise edition against a standard edition install of SQL
Server IF you have an Enterprise edition SQL license. In other words, the
product itself will not fail to run on SQL Server Standard Edition, but you
must have an Enterprise SQL Server license to be in compliance.

Thanks
