Commerce Server

Commerce Server offers users a less complicated and less time-consuming way to build tailored, effective e-commerce solutions. By providing the application framework, together with sophisticated feedback mechanisms and analytical capabilities, Commerce Server allows you to quickly develop sites that optimize the customer experience, encouraging repeat business and forging tighter partner relationships.

Microsoft has created the processor-based licensing model to simplify the acquisition and maintenance of Commerce Server software licenses.

A customer acquires a Processor License for each CPU contained in the machine running their server software.

A Processor License includes access for an unlimited number of users to connect from either inside the corporate local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) or outside the firewall.

Customers are no longer required to purchase additional Server licenses, Client Access Licenses (CALs), or Internet Connector Licenses.
