Student needs help with editions

[jamesallen74@gmail.com]

I am starting a class on SQL Server, and my school wants me to build
db's either on campus or remotely at my home connecting to their SQL
Server Enterprise.

Will I be okay to use Developer Edition at home to connect with an
Enterprise-licensed SQL Server on campus, to build databases,
sprocs, .net apps that connect to the database stored on my school's
server?

I would rather avoid the Express edition.

thanks

Hi jamesallen74,

As far as I know, ff SQL Server on the campus is licensed per processor
(quite likely), you can borrow the media from the university, install
the client tools (not the DB engine!!!) on your home computer, and use
those tools to connect to the campus SQL Server.

Disclaimer: I am neither a lawyer, nor a licensing expert. If you want
to make 100% sure, contact Microsoft and ask them.
