Calling all AU contract law experts!
Is it illegal, if you have a license for the product AND server anyway? As Tommy noted, many use laptops, and running up virtual images can drown slow memory and HD subsystems. That's why I asked the question and was considering it. Unsupported and strongly discouraged, I fully understand. But I would certainly be interested if it is in breech of contract before I go down the route, as would many others I'm guessing! For example, it's only quite recently that MS supported MOSS on virtual environments, but every man and his dog was doing it before then. Were they all then open to being sued by MS before that change, or is there something specific about running MOSS without a Server (as WSS comes with the server)? My gut feeling is that, with multi-cores, virtualisation, SAAS, cloud, licensing servers etc, software licensing is getting to the level of art rather than a science. So, as long as you stick to the spirit of the contract, I'm hoping MS would be pragmatic (as they already give us devs nice things like SQL Express to ease licensing issues). Regards, Mike.
