Microsoft Loosens Terms of Server Licensing (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/story.jsp?floc=FF-RTO-rittz&idq=/ff/story/0002%2F20030313%2F210927415.htm&sc=rittz)
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O) said on Thursday it would change its licensing policy to allow customers to pay for fewer copies of a range of programs used on corporate servers.
The revised "Per Processor License" policy, along with other licensing changes that will go into effect from April 1, comes less than a year after the world's largest software maker introduced a new licensing plan that irked some customers and in some instances, raised the cost of software.
