Could be a thousand things. What it often means when the specs of a program
call for the workstation edition (W2KPro or WXP) is that running on a server
is technically disabled to force you to buy the server edition for more $$$.
In your case it sounds like it was originally delivered, and running, on a
server OS. So... no worries mate. Probably just a program that is
compatible with both but the verbiage simply expected that mostly W2KPro and
WXP users would buy it and they wanted to discriminate between those and
Win98 or WinME.
