SQL Server Edition Recommendations

SQL Express limits CPU cores/sockets, memory used by SQL and the size of your data file to 10GB. For this reason, we recommend SQL Standard for any deployment over 20 users or 2GB in size. Individual performance may vary based on actual database size, hardware variations, and product usage.

1. On 64-bit versions of Windows, Internet Explorer (32-bit) is recommended.
2. Windows XP Professional limits the number of concurrent network connections to 10 (Home Edition limits concurrent connections to 5).
3. Windows Vista limits the number of concurrent network connections to 10 (Home Basic and Home Premium Editions limit concurrent connections to 5).
4. “Core Server Installation” of Windows Server 2008 is not supported.
5. IIS needs to be enabled.
