An appropriate use of MSDE

We have a project where 16 PCs will be used to run wildlife models.
Can we install MSDE on each PC and use it as a backend to the model?
Do CALs need to be puchased? I'm more than a little confused after
scanning the Microsoft web site.
Thanks
Yes, you can use MSDE on all your PC's with no CAL's. If this is a new
project, you might want to look at SQL Express instead.
