ASPX Deployment & SQL Server (Licences)

[OptimusPrime]

almost finished our first .net aspx app and are currently in the final stages of testing but .... when we deploy the software is there a version of SQL server that does not require a licence ?

i've heard somthing about MSDE ?

n e info on this would be brilliant !!!

btw. we're currently using SQLServer 2000 DB if that helps


thanks

You could use MSDE.... BUT it has limitations.... first the db is limited to 2G... but some have found a way around this. secondly, you can only have 5 concurrent connections at any time.... Plus there may be some performance issue.

where's the best place to check the specs on msde ?
