Hmmm...
The software *may* be tweaked for the King's English - not sure about this.
It may not be the exactly the same as the US version. The licensing
included with it may also be tweaked for the European market. You'd have to
contact MS and find out. If you can use it, you'll need to buy CALS for the
individual components (Exchange, SQL, etc) too.
3600 - Migration Pack (individual applications reset to 5 CALs each)
1600 - 50 Windows 2000 server CALs
2500 - 50 Exchange CALs
7500 - 50 SQL CALs
...12950 (all Windows 2000)
1200 - SBS2K3 Premium (Exchange, SQL, ISA, etc.)
4700 - 50 SBS2k3 CALs
400 - Win2K server license (CALs are covered by SBS2K3; 1 extra need for
the Win2K server itself)
2600 - 2nd Server (maybe a Dell 1600SC with RAID1 mirrored 36 GB SCSI
drives, 1 GB RAM, 40/80 SCSI Tape drive)
...8900 (unless your present server doesn't meet the minimum requirements
for SBS2K3, in which case use the new server as the primary SBS2K3 and the
old server as the Win2K server)
And if your "main software" package isn't Win2K3 compatible, is it
compatible with a WinXP client? If not, you may have a problem accessing it
from the "new" (WinXP Pro) workstations.
