Where is license sessions checked?

Alex_Chow

A quick question if anyone can remember off the top of their head.

Is the concurrent user check done on the database level or the service tier level?

Just to clarify something

1. There is a granule that allows license per database. This will allows license to be stored in each database.

If you don't have the granule then it's at the sql server level.

The checking/ enforcement is done by the classic client and by the service tier.

So if we install the service tier on each local machine, does that mean you get unlimited user sessions?

No.

1st. each service tier requires a license.

2nd the service still checks how many people are logged into the SQL server. (checking/ enforcement )
