IIS usage rights / IIS Licence ?

Hi,

I've heard that if you put out a public website on a IIS you have to pay for
some kind of licence.
I have read on microsoft.com that on windows 2000 IIS you have to pay a
"special licence if you plan to host sites for 3. parties. thats not my issue.

If i plan to host my own commercial website on any version of windows 2003
(std. SBS. Ent.) IIS, do i then have to pay some kind of fee besides the
server licence that i have allready bought ?

Best regards.

Hi,

Windows 2003 web edition is fine!

This is specially meant for web licensing.
