In the new web page for SharePoint for MOSS there is couple of pages that explains it in detail. I recommend you to review the FAQ page that resolves the common doubts in MOSS licensing: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/how-to-buy/Pages/licensing-overview.aspx http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/how-to-buy/Pages/faq.aspx These tables represent the license model as I understand it. I recommend that you take it as guidance and check it with your license provider or Microsoft representative. Products Product Public price Features CAL Requirements WSS Free.
