Sorry, i have confused matters by using oracle and nt server as an example. There is a different licence agreement for nt server. Yes you are right, it would include fw1 but so long as you have no more than 10 concurrent connects you are not breaking the license agreement. So ntw could be an option here for a fw1 25 user license. You have quoted from the new license agreement. The old one does not have such limitations for non-nt services. As I said MS cannot force you to use the new license (IMHO) if you have already purchased a copy of NT workstation a while ago with the old licence you use that license agreement. This is just MS trying to patch up a hole to sell more server licenses. These are just my thoughts , contacting a MS account manager and asking them these questions is the best answer. Just do not accept the first answer if you do not like it. Who is to say with fw1 v5, 2000 server will be the only windows platform that it can be installed on and this sort of question will go away :-) cheers Dean -----Original Message----- From: Anders Reed Mohn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2000 10:13 PM To: Dean Cunningham; [email protected] Subject: Ang: RE: [FW1] Will Checkpoint run on an NT Workstation? Actually, I agreed with you, until I read this in the NT licensing document:: "This includes file and print services, peer Web services, remote access services, etc., as well as the following applications which utilize Windows NT Workstation operating system resources and services: web-based applications, Telnet, Remote Command, E-mail and Groupware servers, database servers, X Windows, NFS servers and other custom applications" This would actually include FW-1, wouldn't it? (at least it would include your Oracle server). Of course, it is still a "concurrent connections" license.
