Unfortunately for internal use only. In other words you can run Win2k3
Enterprise Server for your internal network but not serve web sites that
can be accessed from the outside.
That being said, the software are full editions, and with the exception
of SQL Server Developer's version, they are all full versions. Here's
what M$ says about the program:
--
How can I use the software provided in the subscription?
The software included with the subscription can be used for internal
business use, testing, evaluation, demonstration, training, and
educational purposes only. For example, you can use the Action Pack
software to host your company's intranet but it CANNOT be used to host a
commercial Web site. This is considered a production environment that is
outside the scope of the software's intended purpose.
