MSDN SQL 2k Enterprise CD

Anybody know if the SQL 2k Enterprise Edition that comes on the MSDN DVD/CD
subscription is crippled in any way? I am wondering if there is a processor
limit, memory limit, concurrent user connection limit, etc. Thanks. Want
to run it on a duplicate data center.
EricAs long as it isn't actually the developer edition you should be OK but for
what it sounds like your doing requires an actual license.

think what you're planning on doing is legal... the license that comes with
MSDN is for development and testing only, not for redundancy / clustering /
load balancing...

fault. We have 2 data centers. One live one, one for testing, attacking,
alternate deployment schemas, etc. That second installation of sql2k is for
an upcoming load test under various raid configs. The plan is to have
numerous clients in a test environment network hammer the server. I was
wondering if the install from the MSDN disks had limitations and thus would
not yield legitimate results.
Do you and Aaron believe this type of testing requires a license too? That
is important to know.
Thanks!

license other than the MSDN one. There should not be any limitations that
you have to worry about, it is just like the fully licensed version.
