If you are creating an Internet- or Extranet-facing website, it is recommended that you use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Internet sites. This license does not require the purchase of Client Access Licenses. However, all content, information, and applications on the “Internet Sites” edition must be accessible to non-employees. Websites hosted using an “Internet Sites” edition cannot be accessed by employees creating, sharing, or collaborating on content which is solely for internal use only, such as an intranet portal scenario. Here are some usage scenarios to help you determine when to use which edition:
| Usage Scenario | Licensing Option |
|---|---|
| Internet facing web site: where content, information, and applications are meant to be used by external, non-employees. For example as a company’s web presence, informational website, community usage (wikis/blogs/discussion lists) , or an e-commerce website. | Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Internet sites1 |
| Extranet web site: where internal and external, employees and non-employees, can collaborate on content, information, and applications that are not being used exclusively for internal organizational use. | Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Internet sites OR Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 along with Client Access Licenses 1 |
| Internal Intranet Portal or team site: where internal users, or employees, can collaborate on content, information, and applications that are meant for internal organizational use. | Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 along with Client Access Licenses2 |
1 If you are only interested in hosting forms for external users, then you may use Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 for Internet Sites.
2 If you are only interested in hosting forms for internal users, then you may use Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007.
