Per the Licensing Website... http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/changes.asp
a.. 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 on a single server. Access to Internet sites by anonymous users does not require a CAL. Per Seat mode vs. Per Server mode for Client Access License (CAL) licensing. The key here is Authenticated Users. If you are not using Windows authentication for your web apps, then you do not need the connector. Ditto if all access to your site is done using the IUSR account.

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.
