There is an email address of email@hidden for questions about licensing on that page and I think that may be a good place to ask this question.

I've forwarded an email. As always with Apple's legal departments, any reply takes weeks to month.

My guess is that you would need a license for each server running WO applications (multiple apps on one server only need one license, as far as I know), so if you have 10 customers, each with their own server, you would need 10 licensees. But, if you're customers deploy the application on OS X Server 10.4 then you would NOT need to buy the license for them as they have already purchased one as part of their OS X Server purchase.

Thus, besides the application price itself, there is up-front cost for each WO instance.

Additionally, there has been some question as to the deployment of a WO 5.3 Application on other platforms besides OS X Server. The WO 5.3.1 developer release notes (http://docs.info.apple.com/ article.html?artnum=302797) seem to clear that issue up, but the question still remains of how do you get the license in the first place? It seems that right now, you have to buy OS X Server, then you can use that deployment license key to deploy on any compatible platform (which should be any platform capable of running Java 1.4).

Hm, that's fun but good to know: I need to buy an OS X server to deploy on another platform?

I've seen people stating that WebObjects is now free. As far as I can tell this is absolutely NOT THE CASE. You MUST buy OS X Server to obtain a deployment key - which is required to deploy the application whether as a traditional WOA file, or as a servlet (WAR, Single Directory) capable of being run inside of a servlet container like Tomcat.

Thanks for the detailed information!

Kind regards,

Stefan
