Many a times my clients have asked this question about licensing SQL Server. They get confused between Per Seat and Per Server option. Now here is a nice article on SQL Server Licensing, straight from Microsoft SQL Server 2000: How to License SQL Server. It says that "The Per Seat CAL model is likely the most cost effective choice in environments inside the firewall where client-to-server ratios are low".
When installing SQL Server for use with Plumtree Architecture, suggestion is to use Per Seat configuration. Also for Plumtree purposes we always need a mixed mode install of the SQL Server.
