>From: Booth Martin [mailto:Booth@MartinVT.com] >The question that comes to my mind now though is the new Licensing Practices from Microsoft. The new model doesn't affect web servers unless they use Windows based authentication. This is from the "New Licensing Model" that MS has put out: "Anonymous access by Internet users to Windows 2000 Server-based servers does not require a CAL, and is unaffected by the license changes." Anonymous in this context means that you don't use Windows Authentication (the popup dialog box) for security. If you use a login process where the userid and password is stored in a database of your own creation you are using "anonymous access" So, if you are using 2000 server you'd spend < $1000 for the OS and that would include 5 CALs, which you don't really need, but I couldn't find pricing for 0 CALs. I guess you actually need a couple of CALs so you can connect to the server to put your web pages on it. The new MS licensing model is close to the software assurance we have from IBM. -Walden PS. If you are using Windows based authentication there is an option to pay $2000 for an unlimited number of users. ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

It seems as they gain a stranglehold in a market, as they have with their office suite product, their prices become extortionist. Their software revenues grew by 11% while everyone around them is shattered or reeling from a PC depression that just won't quit. Of course "interactive tax" leaps to the fore.... maybe we should revisit OS/400 on Intel? --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@MartinVT.com --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: midrange-l@midrange.com Date: Monday, August 12, 2002 13:49:31 To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: access as/400 database files w/Visual Basic 6 >From: Joe Pluta [mailto:joepluta@PlutaBrothers.com] >Unfortunately, I and many of my clients will not install or run IIS.
