The reason why I am asking is because i am doing an evaluation about sharepoint services 2.0 to be used as our collaboration portal in the organization i am working for, I really need to know this, because I was able to install sharepoint services 2.0 on one of our servers without any license being asked. I was also even able to create a simple site on the site manager and it is fully functional. the thing is i know that sharepoint is a propeitary, so i want to know, is the one i got a free version? if it is, what is the difference between the paid version, i need this as a comparison, on my document. THANK YOU for all the help i can get.
