They tell me 3CX needs an IIS server to work under too (for more than a trivial installation) - and when you put the licensing costs of that together with everything else, it costs more than one of my dedicated PBXs... But that's bizarely acceptable for some people...

IIS Server - Doesn't that come as part of the standard MS Server OS? - just a case of selecting/installing it - much like Apache is available to install in Linux distros.

I may well be wrong but I don't think there is any need for any extra licence to run IIS.

No you're right Dave, IIS is part of the standard Windows package (on the install disk anyway). To install it just add the component, no additional costs - for the Win x Pro versions anyway. Having said that maybe the guy's talking about a separate physical system to run IIS on which would be a cost.
