Can Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Web Edition be used in "closed" websites, which are hosted on the Internet, but require users to log in?
We are developing a web application for banks. This is a website for clients of the bank; it allows clients to log in and view information on their personal banking accounts, stock portfolios, etc.
Can this web app use SQL Server 2008 Web Edition?
Here is information on this edition of SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/web.aspx
It is said on this page that Web Edition can be used only on "public and Internet accessible ... Web applications". Technically, the web app we are developing is public and Internet accessible - although it requires authentication. Won't using Web Edition in our web app violate SQL Server license terms?
Thank you.
