MSDN Subscription

[NickyD]

Hello

Here where I work we have a developer with a MSDN Enterprise subscription
(and two developers with the MSDN Professional subscription). Now, I
understand that the developer is licensed to use SQL Server 2000 as part of
the subscription, but to truly test his applications we would like to grant
around eight to ten users access to the development SQL server - but does
the licensing model under the MSDN subscription allow for this, or would we
need to but CALs for each user (we are already fully licensed in that each
user has a CAL for our production SQL server).

Thanks in advance for any light on this :-)

You don't need a CAL for each instance of SQL server that you access. If
you already have a CAL, you can access multiple SQL servers with it, so
you don't need more CALs to access the MSDN install.
