I wonder what else I am hosting from windows 10 breaks this clause then. Unifi? Various license servers for CAD? FM audit? Predator DNC?
The simpler answer is "anything". Windows 10 cannot be used as a server. There are extremely specific, and essentially useless, exceptions. You simply can't use Windows desktops as if they were cheap servers.

I am so confused.
@Dashrender can you produce a link that says that SQL is limited to 10 connections when hosted from windows 10? It sounds like you are claiming this, and I don't believe it.
It's in the EULA and is both a technical limit as well as a licensing limit. Also, SQL hosted from Windows 10 has other license issues if used like a server beyond the hard limits.
can you guys explain more? I am unfamiliar with what you guys are trying to tell me. @scottalanmiller which EULA, windows 10 or SQL?
In the End User Licence Agreement, exist a clause that says you won't use a Microsoft Desktop platform to provide hosted services to more than X people.
(more or less)
And that you must purchase Microsoft Server and CALs if you need to host services above the stated limit.
Found it. From here, section 2.d.(iii)
2.c. is more important. That's the part that forbids SQL Server completely, even with just one connection. The 10 connection limit is only for allowed services. Since SQL is forbidden, that is the overriding factor.
Yeah this is the money statement here
c. Restrictions. The manufacturer or installer and Microsoft reserve all rights (such as rights under intellectual property laws) not expressly granted in this agreement. For example, this license does not give you any right to, and you may not:
v) use the software as server software, for commercial hosting, make the software available for simultaneous use by multiple users over a network, install the software on a server and allow users to access it remotely, or install the software on a device for use only by remote users;
that says for commercial hosting - I assume that Scott and others are going to say - when you host to yourself, that is commercial hosting. OK I think I agree with that bit then...
The important bit to him is "server software." Everything he is describing is server software. Commercial hosting is on top of that, and not important here.

I agree that this is probably the point.

yep - these are the exceptions you're given.
Device connections. You may allow up to 20 other devices to access the software installed on the licensed device for the purpose of using the following software features: file services, print services, Internet information services, and Internet connection sharing and telephony services on the licensed device. You may allow any number of devices to access the software on the licensed device to synchronize data between devices. This section does not mean, however, that you have the right to install the software, or use the primary function of the software (other than the features listed in this section), on any of these other devices.

Internet information services,
That one is why ACT! was installed on Windows 7 and I didn't care.
Of course now that they finally had to update, I made them install on Server 2012R2 (they had an unused license).

What catches a lot of people is apps that run a separate component, plus an IIS or file serving component.
