Hello All!
I apologize if this has been asked before. I have found many scenarios out there that are similar, but none exactly outline our issue.
- I have an internal only PHP Web App running on Apache on a Linux standalone hardware server.
- I have MSSQL 2016 Standard installed on Microsoft Server 2016 Standard.
- I have MSSQL 2014 Express installed on Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Standard.
- I have User CAL's for Server 2016 Standard for all my staff, but presently have no SQL Server 2016 CALs (beyond the 2 administrator CALs that are granted with the server license).
- The MSSQL Database requirement comes from the vendor for this particular product (Kardex, they do not support using anything other than MSSQL, or Oracle - which we do not have) so we cannot switch to MySQL or similar.
- The Web App uses identical custom internally developed framework...
