Do I need second license?

Hello,
I have MS SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with one Client Access License.
May I
install the server as Primary on one machine and as Secondary (backup)
with Log Shipping on it on another machine, using same license?
Thanks,
GBYes,
But, note, its there for backup only and should not be used to run queries
etc...
So, if you ship the logs across to the backup server and then use database
snapshots then you are probably breaking the liecence terms and need another
liecence.
Tony.

in which a YES can answer both but it has opposite meaning I wanted to say:
No you don't need two licenses<g>.
