Can I separate the components of Windows Small Business Server 2008, (that is, run Exchange 2007 and/or SQL 2008 on separate servers)?
A. No, unless you are licensed for Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition, you may not separate the software for use on more than one operating system environment under a single license. This applies even if the operating system environments are on the same physical hardware system, such as by using virtualization technology. If you acquired Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition, you may run one instance of Windows Server 2008 technologies and SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition for Small Business on a separate server. This is a new license right that has changed from rights granted in previous versions of Windows Small Business Server premium editions.
