A. Licensing for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 will be restricted to computers that are used as dedicated computational servers only. Customers wishing to use compute nodes for other purposes (for example, using a cluster head node as a database server) should purchase the appropriate version of Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions (Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter) for installation on those nodes. The cluster management components encapsulated in the Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack support installation on all editions of Windows Server 2003 x64. Please see the Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Pricing and Licensing page for more information.
