Compact Edition 3.5 Licensing

SQL Server 2008 Mobile Edition is available as a downloadable development product for mobile applications. You can deploy SQL Server Mobile to an unlimited number of mobile devices if they operate in standalone mode (that is, the device does not connect to or use the resources of any SQL Server system not present on the device). If the device connects to a SQL Server instance that is not on the device, a separate user or device CAL is required unless the SQL Server instance it connects to is licensed using the per-processor model.
