Hi folks,
This may be off-topic for this list, in which case I apologise.

One of my collegues is wanting to set up a server for running various 
web applications both internally and externally.  Unfortunately, we 
have found the licensing for Win2003 Server very confusing.  It seems 
that we need an "external connector license" for each user who 
connects to the server from outwith our university, but we aren't 
sure what this means.

Are they referring to users who use the server as a file or 
authentication server (ie none) or just any user who connects to the 
web server that will be running on that machine (probably Apache), 
which we have no way of determining.

Do we even need Win2003 server?  Would a workstation OS like Win2K 
Pro suffice, given that we're going to be using it only as as a web 
(and possibly database) server?

TIA,
Raj.
