(now where have i heard that before?) - - you have to have a license to run exchange on the server. - - you need a client access license for every computer that is going to connect to the server - - if you want web-based access to your e-mail, that's another set of licenses - -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories Web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ E-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za Blog: http://blog.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ Linux User #333298 (http://counter.li.org/) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCX2KxdabIu5z4rwwRAtS3AKCAuk4QRc4Owl1zS/5N21MF7JP2vwCfQLEr xIZjreOzIWKNHWlVAtQogSg= =3nVw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
