If one is using i.e. a Win SVR S2003 on Virtual PC what is the legal
implications of this? Does one have to have a license for every server
license one is installing this for demo/testing purposes?

The answer will be yes obviously. I have a legal license for i.e. Win SVR
2003 but this is working as a server in the real world. The question is
what is the implications of using this license in Virtual PC for testing
purposes and to make it more complex if you use the license 2/3 time for the
TEST CRM deployment?

Hi Warren,

Microsoft is offering a special version of the MSDN subscription to cover the
scenario you described:
It's called MSDN Operating Systems, costs about $700 for the FPP (substantial
rebates may apply e.g. if you're a MS partner).
More information here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/levels/default.asp
licensing details FAQ:

An even cheaper alternative for a limited time would be to download the 180 day
Windows Server 2003 evaluation version here:
