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. Old story. Call Microsoft ten times and ask about software licensing and you're likely to get ten different answers to the same question. Little wonder nobody can figure it out and even less of a wonder that so many don't bother with proper licsensing of MS softwaer. They're shooting themselves in the foot with their constantly shifting licensing schemes that their own people don't understand.
