Looking for a clear answer to the licensing costs of WSS 3.0. I have read at least 50 websites, including all relevant MS resources, and the answer is still unclear. We are a web host who wants to provide our customers with WSS solutions as follows:
Scenario 1 An extranet of a company with forms authentication. Each user will be an authenticated employee, but we will host the web server and sql server and make it public. 400 employees. The same question for 1200 employees.
Scenario 2 Internet portal with anonymous access.
Scenario 3 We host a public WSS portal that our client uses to exchange information. All users are authenticated, but their distributors, suppliers, business partners, consultants, etc. will be available to them. Only about 1000 people.
What is the least expensive licensing option? If I have not provided enough information, please ask. Server OS and SQL options are completely flexible. Thanks in advance.
