Licenses
hello,
My doubt is the following one:
For example ServerMatrix offers for the server dedicated Linux RedHat 9,0 and Windows Server 2003 to the same price ($0), all we know that Linux Redhat 9,0 can be used legally without license since he is free and it is possible to be download of linuxiso.org. But to use a system Windows, as for example Windows Server 2003 is needed a license, a license (very expensive) for each server. As they offer 0$ for a server Windows if it requires a coast licenses by server?
it is that to them it leaves to them free? or they use a same license of Windows for all the server?
I wait for your answers

The Windows license is not free as with the Redhat Enterprise 3. They offering for free because Servermatrix absorb the cost of the license and it has already been included in the basic cost of the server.
Each machine would have their own license and they do not buy one and deploy on all. Of course, they have a special deal with Microsoft which enables them to deploy as they are.
If you are worried about the legality of the license, you do not need to worry. They are fully licensed but they are just not license to them.http://www.batchimage.com - Offering Batch Image Processing and TIFF/PDF Software Solutions

Just like with Microsoft, they have a special deals with Redhat. Like I say, you do not need to worry how much they have to pay for their license. All you need to know is that all the licenses are original and valid.

I know it, but to them also one leaves RedHat and Microsoft it by monthly prices? I am thinking to sell dedicated and I am interested in this subject of the licenses.

If you want to market web servers with your own Redhat and Microsoft liceneses, why not contact those two companies directly and find out the terms and conditions and cost involved.
