If I have SBS 2003 Premium Edition, will I be able to obtain SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition for free?
No, you will need to upgrade to SBS 2003 R2 Premium, unless you have Software Assurance (see above). In addition, if you purchase SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and join it to your SBS 2003 network, you will need to purchase SQL Server 2005 Workgroup CALs to access the server. Upgrading to SBS 2003 R2 Premium is the most cost-effective way to obtain SQL Server 2005 Workgroup technology.
