[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW1] WINDOWS 2000
This goes back to what I was saying. 1) the connection limit is to SERVICES of the SERVER "such as file and print services and internet > information services" That means, NETBIOS, RPC and IIS. None of which you are using when you run FW1. 2) the statement regarding "other software or device which pools or aggregates" is superfluous because it is a limitation of connection to the ABOVE services which we have already determined not to be in use! The way I read it, Workstation would be perfectly legit provided you aren't a tard and running all sorts of MS related software and services on your enforcement server... Regardless, there ARE other reasons why you would want to use server over workstation, such as CP requiring it for support, etc etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Armstrong" <[email protected]> To: "Patrick Lotti" <[email protected]>; "Eugene Nesterenko" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 11:34 AM Subject: RE: [FW1] WINDOWS 2000 > > > > Yes you can run FW1 on Professional, however you will violate > > > the M$ license for number of connections, etc... > > ? > > Please quote the eula.txt! > > As far as I know there's no limitation of connection! > > "If the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is Windows 2000, you may use > the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single COMPUTER as interactive > workstation software, but not as server software.
