Steven Crothers Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 There is ram and processor limitations, but afaik it still runs. Someone with experience in Windows/TCAdmin can probably better answer this then me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{-SMAKU-}_MotorMouth Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 2008 x64 Web Edition will allow up to 128GB of RAM and 2 CPU's.

Derek Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think there is something in the TOS that prevents you from running game servers but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddanny Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You can use 2008 Web edition only for web hosting, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then every GSP offering dedicated servers for rent will have to stop. Many including some in this forum sell web edition for game hosting. I know i used to rent from them.

As they're using SPLA program, they are responsible how their own customers are using the software. But i know a lot of hosters that install Unauthentificated licences for their customers without any control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
