As detailed in the administrator's manual, there are 2 basic choices for database engine, the free to use MSDE (Microsoft Database Engine) or the full SQL Server.
MSDE
This comes with the MP-5 installation programme, and if installed is automatically configured for networking. There are no additional license fees.
There are however several restrictions:
- 2gb database limit
- Maximum of 5 concurrent users
- No interface
SQL Server
If you use SQL Server it is not subject to the above license fees. You will however need to purchase SQL Server licenses (CAL's).
There are several versions of SQL Server. The developer edition is designed for single, non-networked use.
The standard version normally comes with 5 CAL's. Additional licenses can be purchased.
The processor license is not limited.
