I got it with a new Dell server, so it's "for distribution only with a new Dell server" kind of edition. I think it is licensed per server, with 5 CALS included.
Our database has grown since 3 years ago and is now well over 4GB. The server was a T410 with only 8GB of ram. I recently P2V'd it into a VMWare VM and switched to the Virtual product key for Windows (2008 R2) provided on the case sticker.
While troubleshooting some slow queries and performance this week, I only now (I know, I know) realized that I had Workgroup edition and that it limits itself to using 4GB of ram.
I've looked at buying 2012 versions, but it all seems very expensive, and the cheaper licensing that some vendors are trying to sell me require 5 CALS in addition to the server license which takes it out of the realm of possibility for us.
So, I need the absolute cheapest route to removing this 4GB of ram limit. Be it eBay buying or whatever, but after researching this for the past week, I'm not really any closer to a good solution and I thought I'd ask for any ideas you might have. Thanks so much for reading.
