licensing for using as web host?

| If I interpret the licensing for IIS correctly, each user
that looks at a page, I must have a license for. This
seems outragous. Am I wrong, can anyone look at the web
pages on the server over the internet if I purchase the
2003 server software, or would I be forced to buy a
license for 100's of thousands of users (will install
linux, and use apache instead if this is the case)
Thanks.

Authentication requires a CAL, anonymous access all uses a single CAL.
Also look at the web connector license.

| aaahhhhhh, thanks to all for settling this worry of mine.
I get a bit confused on the licensing every time it
changes, and always look to the forums for a reliable
answer, thanks too all.
