But would internal business be the backend for a mail server which is the back end for a webmail app?     Sr. Network Engineer Diversified Solutions and Services, Inc. 22645 Canal Road, Suite B Orange Beach, AL 36561 (251)980-8968 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 10:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Off Topic Careful.   Read the license before you put any public website or application, open to the internet, on the license provided by an action pack, an MSDN license, or a Microsoft Certified Partner license.   The US action pack license does NOT include an Internet Connector or a processor license for SQL. It includes a license to SQL server and 10 CALs (watch for wrappage in the URL below):   http://members.microsoft.com/partner/salesmarketing/partnermarket/actionpack/ap_license_plus.aspx   Note the specific restriction:   the Subscription includes a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, terminable license to make and use the number of authorized copies of the Microsoft software products (“Products”) set forth in the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Product Licenses table in subsection (c), below, for internal business use, demonstration, testing, education, and evaluation purposes only (“Product Licenses”).   Internal business use does not include being the back-end for a website/webapp.   And, I would point out specific to the original question asked in this thread: the Action Pack license doesn't include downgrade rights.      -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Suneel Jhangiani Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 10:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Off Topic An MS Action Pack is the cheapest solution to a licensed copy. In the UK an action pack is 199 UK Pounds (about $250) and includes licenses for about $16,000 worth off MS Software (including MS SQL 2000). As this is an annual payment it includes all the latest versions.   ----- There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are good with words, and those who are... erm... thingy   (--------------------------------)         {(((((( (     Suneel Jhangiani           )        /_  _  ) (    Technical Director          )       ( .  .   ) ( Inter-Computer Technology Ltd. )        ( /   ) (----------------------------------oOOo------------oOOo----) ( 40 James Street                Tel: +44 (0) 20 7486 9601 ) ( London W1U 1EU                 Fax: +44 (0) 7050 678 978 ) ( United Kingdom               Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     ) (             Website: http://www.inctech.com              ) (----------------------------------------------------------) From: Admin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 February 2004 22:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Off Topic   We borrowed the media from a friend and ordered licenses.  So, we basically paid $1400 for two pieces of cardboard :-)  You can buy legal licenses through pricewatch.com distributors.     AK Internet Less expensive and more personal than Earthlink, AOL, and MSN 641 E. 10th Avenue Bowling Green, KY  42101 270-793-0647 voice 270-843-7532 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Essary To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 2:09 PM Subject: [Modus] Off Topic   Howdy....
