Do I need to purchase a special license to install and run SQL Server Mobile?
A. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (SQL Server Mobile) is distributed as a downloadable development product for mobile applications. You can deploy SQL Server Mobile to an unlimited number of mobile devices if they operate in stand-alone mode. In stand-alone mode, the device does not connect to or use the resources of any SQL Server system not present on the device.Otherwise, when devices running SQL Server Mobile connect to or use the resources of a SQL Server system not on the device, the instance of SQL Server software being connected to or used must be licensed according to the per processor licensing model, the user must have a SQL Server user CAL, or the device must have a SQL Server device CAL.
