Hi,

I wanted to clarify which license is required when offering Win2000 dedicated servers

Our original thought was that a standard 5/10 license would be ok because internet users are anonymous and dont require a license

However we have come across an internet connector license on m'softs website

1 . Do we need this internet connector license for each server that is provided and what is it needed?

2 . Or is the standard license sufficient, IF not WHY?

Many thanks

You do not need the Internet connection license unless you don't want to purchase CALs (CALs are about $20-40 per user and the IC is $1500 so if you had more than 50 or 60 users it would be cheaper for the IC).

Hope the info helps!
