I have a client looking to create an in-house management system for their factory floor.  Using .NET and SQL, they will host an internal website on a 2008 R2 server.  The server is virtual, running on ESX, and fully licensed.  I need to setup IIS and provide SQL Server for the company who will be creating the custom web based application. It's a small company and we might have 5-10 devices on the floor for workers to enter production data, and look at drawings.  I know I can purchase SQL, but someone suggested SQL Express.  I'm also unsure of the licensing.  I have heard that because only a single user writes to/from the SQL server, it requires a single user license. So, my questions;
Can you use SQL Express;  I believe it supports a maximum of 4gb of memory and limited access to processing power but it's a small installation.

Potentially, we could have over a dozen users. Are we better to purchase a core license, or is ...
