http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Yep, my gut always tells me the right thing. I was just sending out this e-mail to satisfy my client, as well as getting first-hand answers from people in the industry. I never even tried to install ISA on anything other than Win2K or Win2K3 Server - in fact, it never even dawned on me to even TRY any other Operating System. Well, thanks everybody - I appreciate your replies, and I shall let my client know the definitive answer.

You and your client need to read the licensing usage agreement for that edition. If you had done that, you would already have your answer. If you somehow did indeed install ISA onto Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, you would be just as liable for License violation as your client is and as such you would be subject to what ever legal recourse was sought by Microsoft or the BSA. No on licensing reasons. No on practical reasons. No on moral reasons. No on professional reasons.
