OWC11 License Issue for Server Side Use Only?

[Kristov]

I read: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828949

I am still unsure of the answer to my question and would really like an
official Microsoft answer.

I am developing an web application (VB.NET in Visual Studio 2003) - and want
to use OWC 11 for creating charts dynamically based off data out of a SQL
Server 2000.

The web application will contain "chart options" that will be chosen by the
user - then these options will be passed to the server and a JPG generated
from OWC 11 to send back ot the user. The user will view the JPG as an image
only, no interactivity.

Do I need a License for OWC11 on the server? I know I do not need one on the
clients.

If you require a microsoft answer, you are better served by opening a report
incident - I believe it costs $35 per incident (last time I checked).

By the way, licensing and its various incarnations are FULLY explained in
the black book.

I have no doubt your book would be useful - and I wouldn't mind having it -
however my company is pretty cheap and won't be springing for it anytime soon.

I just want to know if i need a server side license - I suppose if that
information is that hidden and cryptic i just wont worry about it.

the

Licensing requirements are fully satisfied in your case. Basically,
licensing has to do with restricting interactivity. If you don't use
interactivity, then it is just a gif file shipped to the client - for the
most part.
