How Many SQL Licenses?

[Guest]

Our DBA needs to know how many SQL licenses to purchase.

Is that number based on how many users we think will be

accessing RH at one time...or is it just one license?

Thanks

Hi Doug,

RoboHelp Server 8 supports creating multiple contexts.

Number of minimum concurrent open database connections from RoboHelp Server 8 for each context is 20 and the maximum number for each context can be controlled by "MaxLoad" property specified in "<RHS 8 install dir>/WEB-INF/robohelp_server.proprties" whose default value is 150.

Is this the information you were looking for i.e the number of concurrent open database connections or something else?

Sorry, I'm not db literate

Don't know if this helps more or not..but lets assume

we plan on having no more than 10 people using RH

at the same time.

Do we need an SQL license for 10 or just one?

Thanks

Hi Doug,

Unfortunately even I am not aware how SQL Server licensing works

What I can tell you is the you will need single user name and password account to access SQL Server from RoboHelp Server 8 for a single context and then number of concurrent database connections for that account depend on factors I explianed in my last mail.

I have a hunch you should need a single license as SQL Server supports a large number of concurrent connections for single user account. But again as I said, I am not sure on this and you would need to get this confirmed.
