How many concurrent users on a Sql Server 2005 workgroup edition?

Too 1 database?

Too entire server?

+2  A: 

There are no built-in limitations - from SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition:

Workgroup Edition is the data management solution for small organizations that need a database with no limits on size or number of users. Workgroup Edition can serve as a front-end Web server or for departmental or branch office operations. It includes the core database features of the SQL Server product line and is easy to upgrade to Standard or Enterprise Edition.

A: 

There are no limitations on the number of users. The limitations primarily are:

  1. Doesn't run in 64bit mode (Uses Windows On Windows if installed on a 64bit OS) - therefore it has a 3GB ram limit
  2. Limited to 2 CPUs

That being said, I also found the lack of Integration Services running on the engine (you could do it as a file that runs with the Windows scheduler) somewhat of a pain.
