Hi,
We are developing an application for a customer and we were wondering if our licensing approach is correct.
As you can see on the topology image below, we have several nodes who connect using a self developed application, to the self developpedapplication server or communication server.
1 application server can have multiple nodes connected at the same time off course.
This application server, uses only 1 connection to the SQL server.
Our question now is:
a) do we need to provide every node a CAL, even if they are not communicating directly to the SQL server?
OR
b) do we need to provide only the application servers a CAL, since he is the only one that has contact with the SQL server directly?
