Yeah, I know. At this point we are still in 'proof of concept mode'. At the point we decide to go live I'll buy a copy. I really don't need more than 2-3 concurrent connections so it shouldn't set me back too much. Bottom line is I'm probably 'spending' more on wasted people time than I would on licenses.

Whatever works works. Caveat, MSDN is not an actual license for production use, only development. If you ever get audited and are using it on a production machine, you will have to pay the license. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ledet, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 5:23 PM > To: 'Adam Nelson'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Slow performance using 3.23 on RH 8.0 > > > Well, I've got an MSDN subscription so I have access to a > legal copy.. the > non-unix thing is a downside but there are number of scp command line > utilities for Windoze that I can use to move the data back > and forth as > needed.... > > I'm seriously thinking of biting the bullet and going that way. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 5:18 PM > To: 'Ledet, Mike'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Slow performance using 3.23 on RH 8.0 > > > Don't let this list fool you.
