>>There is no such thing as an ongoing licensing fee from Microsoft for any operating system that is for production environments.
Actually, their SPLA licensing is on a monthly basis: (http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/licensing/) "The Microsoft Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) enables services providers to license Microsoft products on a monthly basis to provide services and hosted applications to their end customers. The Services Provider License Agreement is intended for Web hosters; application service providers; service providers offering messaging and/or collaboration, platform infrastructure, streaming media, or Web/Internet services; ISVs providing hosted applications; outsourcers providing software licenses; and consultants providing software services. If your business model falls into one of these categories, this is probably the licensing program you need." - Mike To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
