Best prices can be found at a place like pricewatch.com sharkman 03-10-2002, 10:26 PM I just transffering from reselling to my server and I don't know What am I looking for ?. I see different prices, but I'm not sure which one do I need to purchase. I just want to put it on one server with ten clients. does that mean one user or ten users. Do I have to report to microsoft everytime I have a new client? ebo 03-10-2002, 10:28 PM Ooooh. Sorry, you don't want XP. Blech.. If your intent on Microsoft based, then go with Widows 200 Server. sharkman 03-10-2002, 10:31 PM Thanks Ebo I appreciate your response but please be more specific to what shoud I purchase? ebo 03-10-2002, 10:32 PM I must be confused..

You might want to signup as a reseller with a webhost, so you don't have to handle major server setup and administration.. richy 03-11-2002, 12:02 AM doesnt it require client access licences for terminal services etc? or am i missing something :) sharkman 03-11-2002, 03:18 AM I have seen on pricewatch liscence for $33 for windows 2000, is that what I need to get? iVersit 03-11-2002, 09:22 AM Expect to pay quite a bit more than $33 for a GENUINE Windows 2000 Server License with a few client licenses.... sharkman 03-11-2002, 11:56 AM Ok so that' what I'm asking. Where do I buy it and for which price ? I don't understand what's the difference between all the version, what I do know that Pricewatch offer $33 of liscence. RackMy.com 03-11-2002, 12:17 PM The $33.00 license is probably not for the server license, but probably some CALs. Windows 2000 Server runs about $550.00 OEM and $799.99 Retail. Advanced Server is much more than that, but you do not need it unless you are running Clustering or Load Balancing. There is no XP Server. Hope that helps! sharkman 03-11-2002, 12:49 PM That actually helped a lot thanks, once I purchase the win 2000 server, do I need to pay for anything else ?
