Several different Teaming licenses are available:
Evaluation License: Available from NovellĀ® Downloads
You receive your evaluation license when you download the evaluation version of Teaming.
Starter Pack License: Available from the Novell Teaming 2 Starter Pack Web page
You receive your 20-user starter pack license when you download the 20-user starter pack.
Standard Teaming License: Purchased through a Novell sales representative or Novell partner
The Standard Teaming License gives full Teaming functionality on a per-user bases. It includes Guest user functionality for Teaming users who are covered by a Standard Teaming License. However, if non-licensed Teaming users are accessing the Teaming site through the Guest user functionality (as an anonymous user), then you must purchase a Guest Access Instance License in addition to the Standard Teaming License for each Teaming instance.
After you purchase the Standard Teaming License, you can access your license key or view your purchase history in the Novell Customer Center
Guest Access Instance License: Purchased through a Novell sales representative or Novell partner
This license must be purchased in addition to the Standard Teaming License. The Guest Access Instance Licence licenses you to provide Guest user access to your Teaming site for non-licensed Teaming users. If you are using Guest user for licensed Teaming users only, you do not need to purchase this license.
The Guest Access Instance Licence is a paper license and does not require a new license-key.xml file.
The Guest Access Instance License can provide added benefit to your site at a manageable cost. For example, imagine that your company employs 500 people. Only 200 of which are company knowledge-workers who you expect to actively participate in the Teaming site; the other 300 employees simply need to access information that is already posted on the Teaming site, such as files, news, or other company information. In this case, you would purchase 200 Standard Teaming Licenses. For the remaining 300 employees who will simply be accessing the site to obtain information, you would purchase a single Guest Access Instance License.
You must purchase one Guest Access Instance License for each Teaming instance that you are running.

and Allowing Web Crawler Access to Your Teaming Site
