SQL Server Multiple Instances License

Since SQL Server Express is free to use, If I install two instances of the same version on a single CPU machine, will there be any licensing issue even though it is free?

None.

I currently have a VM that has:

  • SQL Server 2005 Express
  • SQL Server 2008 Express
  • MySQL 5.1.49 Community
  • Oracle Express (10g)

I don't recommend having them all run on start up, unless you actually need to access them.
