I presume so. However, if your requirement is to be able to allow 10 users
to access Autoroute, etc., and you install it on you server, you need to buy
licenses for all the employees in your organisation. In some cases you'd be
obliged to purchase thousands of licenses. Not really cost effective. Even
with XP FRx and the ability to restrict numbers, I'd doubt MS would wear it.

That's how I've interpreted the rules.

Isn't this the case with any M$ product?

I have always interpreted the licensing requirements to be that anyone who
can use it must have a license.  Security can determine who can use it.

A looser (more risky) way is to assume that if it isn't on their desktop,
they can't use it.
