If its one website ie one client then a OEM 5CAL will do if you register it in their name..the EULA prevents commercial hosting of third parties but if its your website........

It will be a crock. Always is. The bottom line is that the correct product always goes for the correct money. There are a lot of NFR "products" on the market. Anyone who says you don't need the retail box/holographic sticker is talking out of their butt
btw the licensing for authentication has changed slightly. Whereas before it was termed an "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" license based on credential access, its now based on the user visiting the websites ("anonymous") running on the server. For instance, win2k and HELM is actually a breach since each site runs under a user context which requires use of the credentials service. However win2003 and HELM is OK because although IIS is running sites in a user context (and thus accessing credentials services) - its the users visiting the websites which make up the licensing. Complex huh
