Minimum Setup Requirements for SQL 2005 Replication.

[Stuart Lowe]

What are the minimum setup requirements to support the following.

2 Remote Laptops running SQL Server 2005 Express databases with the ability
to synchronize with each other. Also they should be able to synch with a
server hosting a SQL Database whci is accessible from 2 other Desktop PCs.

What are the SQL CAL Licensing issues that would apply to this scenario.

Regards

[Hilary Cotter]

Unfortunately SQL Server Express can only be a subscriber to all types of
replication. All subscriptions must be created through RMO or replication
stored procedures.

Regarding your desktop pc's - If they are running workgroup edition they can
have up to 25 merge subscribers, but 5 transactional subscribers. In regards
to licensing anything which accesses the desktop must have a license, which
can be a CAL or a server per processor license (which will not make a whole
lot of sense).
