  Hello --

  What command can I run to determine how many client access licenses are available on a given SQL server?

  Also, would this command work in both SQL Server 2008R2 and SQL Server 2012R2 Standard editions?

  Thanks.

  Client licenses are not bound to a server. They are client license, to allow a client to access a SQL Server.

  For a count, ask the Accounting department. They paid for them.

  when you buy them, there's nothing to install. This is an administrative item for an organization.
