The piece I always thought was definitive is this excerpt from Microsoft's Windows2k CAL info.
"Authenticated Internet access. Customers with Internet sites using Windows 2000 authentication will require CALs for authenticated users connecting to their sites. Such customers may comply with this licensing requirement by purchasing CALs in "Per seat" or "Per Server" mode. Or, they may opt to purchase the new Internet Connector license for unlimited Internet CALs as long as the devices are used by "Internet users" on a single server. Access to Internet sites by anonymous users does not require a CAL." The key piece is the last sentence. The page is at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/model.asp if you'd like to look at what I'm referencing. This is what we always used as a reference, but I haven't called Microsoft to ask by any means.

I called MS and was told that I need three sets of licenses with separate part numbers: 1. for win2k server @ $738 2. for internet connector @ $1871 3. optional CALs @ $30/each Adding in the internet connector makes the whole thing very expensive. The MS person was pretty clear that 1 and 2 were required for a web server AND that they are not sold in a boxed set, you have to custom order. This sounds pretty strange to me. Can anyone verify that the internet connector license is NOT required to put up a webserver? If so, what are the benefits/drawbacks of having/not having an internet connector license? I sure want to avoid mistakes on this $$ purchase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 Your ad could be here.
