Is&nbsp;there&nbsp;a&nbsp;guide&nbsp;for&nbsp;how&nbsp;to&nbsp;deploy&nbsp;a&nbsp;web&nbsp;application&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;server?&nbsp;&nbsp;My&nbsp;development&nbsp;environment&nbsp;is&nbsp;32&nbsp;bit&nbsp;but&nbsp;the&nbsp;server&nbsp;is&nbsp;64&nbsp;bit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does&nbsp;this&nbsp;make&nbsp;a&nbsp;difference?

I&nbsp;have&nbsp;seen&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;talk&nbsp;about&nbsp;licensing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Right&nbsp;now&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;simply&nbsp;trying&nbsp;to&nbsp;deploy&nbsp;the&nbsp;application&nbsp;to&nbsp;our&nbsp;development&nbsp;IIS&nbsp;server.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;understand&nbsp;that&nbsp;this&nbsp;is&nbsp;covered&nbsp;under&nbsp;my&nbsp;developer&nbsp;license.&nbsp;&nbsp;When&nbsp;it&nbsp;come&nbsp;to&nbsp;delivering&nbsp;this&nbsp;web&nbsp;application&nbsp;to&nbsp;my&nbsp;customers,&nbsp;who&nbsp;will&nbsp;also&nbsp;need&nbsp;their&nbsp;own&nbsp;server)&nbsp;will&nbsp;they&nbsp;require&nbsp;yet&nbsp;another&nbsp;license?

I&nbsp;found&nbsp;the&nbsp;MapSuiteWebEditionServer&nbsp;msi.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;installs&nbsp;to&nbsp;an&nbsp;x86&nbsp;directory.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does&nbsp;this&nbsp;mean&nbsp;that&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;no&nbsp;x64&nbsp;version&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;web&nbsp;server&nbsp;files?

&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;No&nbsp;difference&nbsp;for&nbsp;deploying&nbsp;on&nbsp;32&nbsp;bit&nbsp;and&nbsp;64&nbsp;bit&nbsp;machines.&nbsp;Both&nbsp;of&nbsp;them&nbsp;are&nbsp;just&nbsp;required&nbsp;“Deployment&nbsp;License“,&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;different&nbsp;from&nbsp;“Development&nbsp;License”.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyone&nbsp;who&nbsp;wants&nbsp;to&nbsp;deploy&nbsp;your&nbsp;application&nbsp;also&nbsp;needs&nbsp;their&nbsp;own&nbsp;“Deployment&nbsp;License”.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;The&nbsp;“MapSuiteWebEditionServer.msi&nbsp;”&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;tool&nbsp;to&nbsp;assist&nbsp;you&nbsp;preparing&nbsp;the&nbsp;deployment&nbsp;environment&nbsp;including&nbsp;“Deployment&nbsp;License”.&nbsp;It&nbsp;can&nbsp;apply&nbsp;to&nbsp;X64&nbsp;and&nbsp;X32&nbsp;machines,&nbsp;and&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;no&nbsp;X64&nbsp;version.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;
