Nope,  you  missed it, too.

Read the M$ link I sent in my first message and you'll see that, while
they  may  only  enforce  it at the functional level in apps like File
Sharing and PWS, at the legal level--to quote them--

I think this answers the question amply. (To think I used to leave off
the $ in M$ :).

With  regard  to  Imail, your compliance with the license is linked to
the number of simultaneous incoming SMTP/IMAP4/POP3 connections, which
might  be  difficult to baseline in smallish environments. My guess is
that  even  at  the 100-user mark, it might go either way depending on
POP3 polling frequency.

P.S. Off-topic, this makes me wonder about the legality of the thousands of
CheckPoint  Firewall-1  installations  on  NTW and 2KP--recommended by
many  because  there  are  fewer  vulnerable  services  on  a  default
installation  of  a  Workstation product than on Server versions. Hmm.
But that's not for any of us to worry about.
