licensing

We have a web application (Grails) which we are going to sell licenses for based on the number of users. There is a table in the database (Oracle 10g) which holds users. Customers will host their own copy of the software and database. Can someone suggest strategies for limiting the number of records which are allowed to exist in the user table in a way which can't reasonably be subverted by the customer? Thanks. You should at least consider avoiding all technical means here and instead insisting that your customer sign an SLSA with an audit provision, and then audit here and there. All these

I guess that legally you may not be obliged to license under the GPL depending on how you port the software, but you certainly should

The clients need to get reports from SQL Reporting Services. A client can have multiple instances of this application running. How does this work with licensing? We thought of starting off with 1 server which has MSSQL and IIS running on windows server (although I might be smart separating these from the start). So that would be 1 license for Server 2008 and 1 for SQL2008? With an addition for each

Please tell me, are there limitations of maximum records per node within Basic license? For example i can store only max 10M records per Basic license? Or record count is unlimited by Basic license?
