CAL License Question

at any given time there are only 25 users accessing a database, do I need 10
0

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
