I got some software that requires either standard Win2000 or WinXP OS.
It's been installed on a HP Proliant Server that was delivered with Win2000
Server OS. This server can only be run by 2000/2003 Server OS.
What is the difference between standard Win2000 and Win2000 Server ?
What kind of problems can you get using the Server OS ?
If a program is "compliant" to standard Win2000 OS would that it's compliant
to Win2000 Server as well ?

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.
