hi all,
I want to retrive the licensing information such as Licensing count, which
licensing is currently in use, whats its type (per processer or per user),
licensing code etc. From where i can retrive the information? I want to do it
for Sql Server 2005 and 2000. I read the blog "Tracking License Information
in SQL 2005" on
http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlblog/archive/2006/11/10/tracking-license-information-in
-sql-2005.aspx
but it doesnt help me at all.

The point is that this information does not exist in SQL Server 2005. Even
in 2000 the information that exists is essentially for documentation
purposes only.

In short, it is the licensee's responsibility to record the licence
information, keep track of what servers are in use and ensure that they are
properly licensed.
