 Asked: Doing our planning work in our lab for SMS 2003 and I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask... but when I am installing SQL 2000 prior to SMS 2003, one setup question asks about SQL licensing mode. I selected a "per seat" licensing mode but as for the count, do I just put in "1" for the amount of devices since only the service account access the DB or do I need to enter a higher number for our SMS 2003 install and setup?

Answered: No, you are correct, just 1.
