It'll run just fine in both, the only real difference is the hardware you'll get with each.
The operating system itself has minimal influence over a RunUO shard if at all.

From Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 Web Edition webpage:

Quote:

Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, can be used solely to deploy Web pages, Web sites, Web applications, and Web services. Customers can use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, to install the following:

• Web server software; for example, IIS.
• Web availability management software; for example, Microsoft Application Center.

Installations of non-Web serving applications are prohibited. ASP.NET-based applications that include code written in third-party programming languages can include that programming language's runtime components. For non-Web serving applications, you should consider Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition.

Client access licenses (CALs) do not apply to Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. However, Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, can be used as the scale-out front end for applications such as Windows SharePoint Services and Windows Rights Management Services. In these scale-out configurations, Windows Server CALs and/or Exchange CALs may still be required.

In these types of configurations, Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, offers customers an economical way to deploy scale-out applications, thanks to the competitively priced licensing model.

runuo is a web serving application right? so does that mean i can run it ?

Ravatar · 04-14-2006, 01:22 PM

Nah, think of web application as part of the thin-client model. RunUO is more of a server application.

Admin Aphrodite · 04-14-2006, 01:42 PM

DAMN!!! i gotta fork out 8 extra $$ a month, oh well

RunUO will run fine on Web Edition.

Certainly it will run, the issue is wether RunUO constitutes fair-use of Server 2003 Web Edition. After all, it's not really a "web application" in the sense that Microsoft declares it.
