Our website (currently done in simple HTML - using front page) is hosted by
a 3rd party hosting firm, & the servers have ASP.NET installed.
I have a copy of VS.NET 2003 (from a friend, installed & working),
is it possible for me to place some ASP.NET pages on this website - or are
there some license agreements to be met before i proceed with this action.
 
besides your copy of VS being illegal....?

The server does not need a ".Net license". It's a free download (the
framework).
Your dev tools on the other hand, are illegal. And posting that to an MS
group might have been a bad idea...

#1. Does your hosting firm have ASP.NET support. Is it enabled on your
account?
 
My friend has a licensed copy of VS.net (i am positive).
I just wanted to know whether "I" need to get any license to develop & place
the .NET files on the webserver.

So there's nothing to worry about for me, as I have a licensed copy of
VS.NET.

So again i ask, do i need any special license or just having a licensed copy
would suffice?

To place precompiled .NET files you do not need a license for VS.NET. If
you're going to develop in VS.NET you'll need a license regardless if
your friend has a license of not (it's not your license).

A cheaper solution you might want to take a look at is Microsoft's
Express line of editors:

http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/

The editors are still in beta.

I thought you said it was your friend's copy?

If you compile, edit, etc in VS.NET then you'll need a VS.NET license.

If you're just uploading precompiled .NET assemblies to a server then
you do not need a license.
 
as I said, there is no license for .NET for the server, so in that respect,
NO..you dont need a license.
What I was referring to is your VS license... it's your friends, not
yours....regardless...
If the server allows ASP.NET you should be fine to put the stuff there.
