    And does this document help? I found it searching on "SQL 2005 licensing structure" but couldn't get an actual link (nor find it on Microsoft's website even though opening it took me directly to download.microsoft.com).

    EDIT: and then there's this link here.

    If I have SQL Server media for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, and while installing SQL Server, if I use a license key for SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition will SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition be installed or will I get an error message of some sort?

    According to the third link (that I edit-added later), using a Standard edition key on Enterprise edition will cause only Standard features to be installed. but that's not an official MS link. It's the EHow page.
