How many CALs ?

[Brian]

Hello everyone,

I have live application in Greece with 300 users. VB5 with SQL Server 6.5
SP5a. The system is being totally upgrade to use SQL Server 7, the
application has also been upgraded.

The client therefore has 300 CALs for SQL Server 6.5.

If SQL Server 7 is being installed, do the clients need to purchase another
300 CALs for SQL Server 7, or do the existing CALs allow for access to SQL
Server 7. (i.e are they transferable). In what blocks can these be purchased
in, can you provide a website URL for reference.

An urgent response to this would be appreciated as I have technical people
(not DBAs, nor am I a DBA !) on site.
