    If you are renting a server, the provider will usually tack on windows for an additional cost per month.

    If you want to go about getting it yourself, take a look at Microsoft's SPLA programme.
    It's Scott!

    they wrote:

    What kind of MBS do you want to host, Navision or Axapta? If you do not want to host it, you do not need this agreement.

    and:

    If you do not use any functionality of the server like file, print or share or the active directory, you can use the "unauthenticated" Windows Server licence.



    What does it mean, I can't understand.

    Goto Microsoft Directly, I have my own account manager...

    I dont think Microsoft Licensing venders can sell SPLA's as Microsoft are keen to have direct relationships with hosters directly to find out trends and what we actually want/do.

    You'll be "suprised" to hear they dont actually understand the Hosting industry very well... or as well as they think they do.
