licensing and performance

[Machiaveli]

Hello,

Could somebody advise me which license i should use when externally 10 to 20 users connect to the database and internally 20 to 30.

I've choosen per seat with 25 devices. I'm feeling that is was not correct. If so how can i change this afterwards.

As above does this influence performance?

Dont know about the licences but do know if wont effect the performance.
While on the subject of performance, we tested the MSDE (free version of MS SQL Engine) against the Enterprise version on identical environments and noticed no difference for an extremely high load (for a high end banking application)- (note the actual connections required was much less than 100 as we use a connectionpool)
The only limitations is that the physical size of the database can't exceed 2GB in MSDE, but if you know you wont reach this and you dont need all the fancy tools, go with MSDE.
