If the BackEnd of a split Access license is to be on a machine with Windows
Server 2003 for Small Business Servers - does it require an Access license?

- - - - or does one simply use it as a file server and the license(s) are
located at the desktops?

If its just hosting the file, and nobody will be sittnig there using it...no
license.
