ArcSDE personal/workgroup/enterprise

ArcSDE personal/workgroup/enterprise

In case of ArcSDE Personal, are we still able to access our database (*.mdf) from different machines but not concurrently?

How about versions/replica in this case?

From the review, am I correct if I say that the only difference between the ArcSDE personal/workgroup/enterprise is the number of concurrently connected users to the database and the size of the database (*.mdf) itself?

Thank you very much

Hi Jamal,

With a ArcSDE Personal license you are able to connect with three simultaneous users, and only one can be an editor.  With Workgroup, you can connect with 10 simultaneous users and editors.

Whether you are using Personal or Workgroup, Microsoft limits the use of SQL Server Express to one CPU (or core  within a socket) and 1GB of RAM. The maximum database size for SQL  Server 2005 or 2008 Express is limited to 4GB. The maximum database size  for SQL Server 2008 Express R2 is 10GB.

You will still be able to perform replication and versioning with ArcSDE Personal.

Thank you Jake for the answer. This is quite helpful.

As the versioning is allowed in the ArcSDE Personal then one can reconcile/post between versions. Is this correct?
