I do have a license from msdn academic alliance I do not use ( somehow I cannot access the link right know ). I'm not sure which windows versions are available there, I'm also not sure if this use can infringe the license - case no problem these licenses can be used in your servers ( I'm also not sure which windows versions are available there but I believe there's at least both 32 and 64 versions ) 2009/8/25 Casper van Donderen <[email protected]> > > SuSE Enterprise.
