On one of our servers we have a client running MSDE (it's our Vertias backup program). I need to install a program that uses an MSDE database on the server. Can I use the current version of MSDE to run both the Veritas backup software and the other program I need? Is there any constraints to the number of accesses MSDE will allow? -- i.e. Veritas is using MSDE and my other program will be also, will one be waiting for the other?

yes, MSDE has some limitations. Most notably:

1. 2GB RAM limitation (per instance)
2. 2GB databas size limiation (per database)
3. Workload governor

here is some info on the workload governor: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_ar_sa2_0ciq.asp?frame=true

You are also missing some of the management tools and fun features like full text indexing, no sql profiler, no BOL, only 2 CPUs supported etc.
