Windows Essential Business Server 2008 and MS Licensing

pwjohnston

Anyone using this?

I've been doing some reading and it sounds like an upgrade from SBS but not quite a 2008 Standard machine.

Oh and does anyone have a *non-confusing* website that explains MS 2008 licensing? haha.

Not sure if you consider this site confusing :

http://www.microsoft.com/ebs/en/us/licensing-overview.aspx

But it explains it .. another option would be

Windows Essential Business Server 2008 - Depth Licensing Overview - Windows Live

And it also depends whether we talk SPLA, VL, Retail, OEM, etc.

No that wasn't confusing at all. I was just having a attack of the Mondays. Ha!

Microsoft licensing is always confusing, so don't worry.

You can actually call Microsoft for free to ask about licensing questions. Many people don't realize there is no charge for licensing questions.
