Clear as mud typically how MS licensing goes. However, I base our licensing
under the same premise as you...just curious how others interpreted it.

I've been told it is ok as long as you can ensure that you can control who
accesses and who does not.  that was from a MS person at iForum who seemed a
little unprepared to answer the question.

My reseller sold me licenses this way and said they checked with MS first.
I have it in writing so that is my recourse if I get in trouble for it since
the reseller is a "Platinum Partner".

Clear as mud right?
