</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have just had a query from a colleague about Novell and desktop computer licensing. At present they have Windows XP Home installed with the Novell Netware logon client on top so that they can authenticate to their Novell Servers. The question being posed here is legally should they be running Windows XP Professional as their desktop client with the Novell Netware logon? This question is based on the fact that Microsoft labels XP Professional as the corporate network version of Windows which is required to log on to your corporate network and the fact that if you were running a Microsoft Domain/Server you must have XP Pro to authenticate.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any comments and thoughts on this one would be great.</FONT>
