I have legitimate licensed copies of Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003
Server. I've no real need to run them, but thought I might dedicate one of
my machines to a server version of Windows mainly to get more familiarity
with them.

However, I've found a lot of software I'd want to install expects some
fantastically expensive "server" license, which makes some uses
prohibitively expensive.

One sticking point is Antivirus software. I have licensed copies of Norton
AV 2004 for desktop and laptop PCs, and I have both AVG and Avast (free)
running on machines which are genuinely "home" machines.

Does anyone know if there's an Antivirus which I can run on a "server"
without costing a bomb?
