I konw Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Designers do not work with SQL
Server remote instances. But Are you violating the licence agreement if you
change the connection string in the configuration file to point to a remote
SQL Server instance when you deploy your application?

I don't believe so. I'd say it's purely a limitation (probably also
intentional to sell full VS2005 <g>) in VWD, so it has nothing to do with
what you deploy. It means you just can't do it when using VWD (when
designing the app), not that you'd break any license agreement.
