'Instances' of SQL Server 2000?

Our application requires multiple instances of SQL Server 2000 in order to h
ave multiple databases, which the app clients use. Has something to do with
the name of the SQL Server instance; each instance needs to be named differe
ntly.
How does this work? Do I install SQL Server multiple times in different loca
tions, or is it simply a defined thing in SQL Server? Is there a 'per instan
ce' licensing issue, or will my one SQL Server license cover the multiple in
stances of SQL Server on on
e server system?
Thanks,
JohnI believe Standard edition is licensed per instance but Enterprise Edition
can be installed with multiple instances on a server. It's best to check
the EULA to be totally certain though. But having to buy one new copy of SE
could be worth looking at why this very odd requirement was "assumed" in the
application's design IMO.

That's the part I don't get. Why can't the application use multiple
databases in a single instance?

For multiple instances, yes.

Depending on the edition of SQL Server, the licensing model you're using,
the OS, etc. You really should verify licensing compliance with a local
Microsoft rep. They can give you the legal answer as opposed to collating a
variety of opinions here.

InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed

I (actually one of our clients) is receiving an InstallSQLAgentSecurity
failed error in the msde install log.
*************************************
Starting custom action InstallSQLAgentSecurity
InstallSQLAgentSecurity failed (LORIH,LocalSystem,87).
Action ended 14:11:24: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
*************************************
I've seen the following article
http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us%3B829386
However, the Server service is running and it still won't start up. The
user is logged in as the Administrator, so is there anything else this can
be. We have this come up every now and then and we really don't have many
options to solve this.

Your solution is here:
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/265613.htm
I had the same problem and solution #2 fixed it. Tell me how it goes.

|||Check solution #2 @. the veritas page. I changed the roles and all
worked fine. Changed them back after and all continued to work.
