The Professional Server Edition provides a variety of functionalities and supports single-tenant deployment. The number of users is only limited by the server capacity.
The Enterprise Server Edition offers the same scope of functionalities like the Professional Edition, but supports the multi-tenant deployment. The allowed number of users is only limited by the server capacity as well.
Suitable for all server editions are Windows Server 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003.
Licensing
The licensing of the Workgroup Server occurs as special case. The other editions are licensed over the server/CAL model.

A CAL with limited rights has only read permission (e. g. for reports).
