Microsoft SQL Server client license costs

I have three questions: Could anyone help.
1. How much does a Microsoft SQL Server client license cost?
2. If we have web interface as the front end and SQL server as the back end,
do we need client licenses for those accessing their databases via the web?
3. Also if we have people accessing the server with Access,do we need
licenses for those?

It's better to buy a per-processor licence because you do not know the
number of users (or you have developed a database access componenet and you
need to limit the number of concurrent users).

It's an extra connection.

the only option is per processor license! You can't use per user connection
license.
