R help - Jan 2009 - Can R be installed on a Windows Server for concurrent usage?

I apologize for this very naïve and stupid question. I have searched the
archives and "googled" a number of different queries relating to this
question and cannot find the answer.

 

My Division is moving toward running an application server for all statistical
applications because the Department of Veterans' Affairs has their computers
locked down. They are locked down so much so simple installation becomes
difficult.

 

Is it possible to run R on a 64 bit Windows Enterprise 2003/2008 Datacenter app
server? I would only guess we are talking about 5 to 10 concurrent users.

 

Please respond to me as well as the list as I am not subscribed.

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

People run classes with (to my knowledge) 40 sessions on a server.
