A user browsing a web site does not count against the number of licenses you have, unless you are using integrated windows authentication. FYI, the 10 user limit in Win2k Pro is hard coded into IIS (there are rumors of a hack, never seen it though), and has nothing to do with the number of CAL's.
Bottom line, get the 5 CAL version of Win2k Server. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, March 4, 2003, 1:40:52 PM, you wrote: dm> Thanks for the responses. According to MS site, the cost of win 2k server with 5 CALs is $999, 10 CALs is $1199 and 25 CALs is $1799. How many CALs make sense?

The MS site is not very useful for figuring out which product to buy.

So for now it seems simplest to keep everything on one windows box. Any recommended links or books for linux webserver setup would also be appreciated. dm> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
