Service broker issue: messages are dropped due to licensing when both sides are Sql Server Express edition
Today I had a strange behavior with service broker between two SQL's in express version. The receiving side dropped the messages with the following error (profiler) "This message has been dropped due to licensing restrictions."
I googled the issue and found the reason: "SQL Server Express can use Service Broker only in combination with other SQL Server 2005 editions"; It's good to know...
