Analysis
MS - SQL has 3 editions
Free edition has many limitations - Data storage capacity is 4GB
Standard edition is sufficient for our requirement
Enterprise edition is too costly
Development edition is not required since we will mostly be working remotely. Else we can use Express edition - free.
Per processor licensing model is not required as we have just 5 computers.
CAL licensing model works better and cheap for our requirement.
Total cost estimate
5 * SQL Svr Std 2008 R2 = 5 * 163 = $815.00
Windows Standard Server 2008 R2 = $50.00
Lab View Full = $2,599*0.25 = $649.75 (We have 4 computers that will run Lab view. Not sure whether 1 license is enough.)
Lab View Database Connectivity tool kit = $999 * 0.25 = $249.75
Total = $1764.5
