[Sysadmin] there can be only one...or possibly two...

[Mike King]

What's the situation with evolt Win2k, CF and MSSQL licenses?

Looking at the servermatrix site, unless we have our own MSSQL license 
it's going to cost us on the size of our DB and logs (anyone know the 
current sizes and growth rates?) $50/month for 500mb DB & 100mb log.

If we have licenses for the apps I vote 2 and get everything moved over 
now, otherwise I vote 3 and we keep weo where it is until we're in a 
position to redesign and move, or we have licenses.

/me might be able to donate both Win2k and MSSQL licenses in the near 
future, if required.

Cheers
