It seems to be legal to host game servers with Windows XP Pro.<br>
<br>
Here is the quoting of a conversation about XP Pro Licence between
Steve Harland (Multiplay) and Jon Wolberg (Defender Hosting):<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">"unless the Device has a separate license for
the Product"
<br>
<br>
Which as they will be running Windows as a client ( no Linux
<br>
client ) it is also covered.
<br>
<br>
Also that term really referring to the multiplexing etc of
<br>
connections to the predefined services i.e. file and print
<br>
services.

<pre wrap="">Just a quick query here.
How many hosters using Windows have a SPLA licence - as that's the only
legal way to offer shared hosted services on a windows platform?
Also, is anyone using Windows XP Pro to host servers over a server
version (web or otherwise) of the OS?
Jonty.

Then they should re-think what OS they use. If it was my call, and I
had to
either choose to run Windows or lose customers to competition, i'd run
Windows, and I do.

Yes they have. We are using it on all of our customers' servers here.
Most likely your provider does not want to spend the time to deploy
