Office Web Apps have no dependency on your SharePoint licensing model; instead they are licensed with Office 2010 Professional Plus and Office 2010 Standard licenses. If you have volume license for either Office Professional Plus or Office Standard, then you are already licensed for Office Web App. Install the bits on your SharePoint 2010 server or SharePoint Foundation server and enjoy the life\u2026The difference is Office Professional Plus includes the license for SharePoint workspace\u00a0 which standard doesn&#8217;t! Office Web Apps only covers the required licenses for Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Excel Web App is not Excel Services, though they can compliment each other! Excel Services, Word Automation Services, Visio Graphics Service and Access Services are part of SharePoint and licensed with SharePoint , not Office!\u00a0 For example, to use Excel Services you need to either have SharePoint Enterprise CAL (a.k.a eCAL) or the Enterprise license for Internet sites.<\/p>\n<p>The following table summarizes everything making these murky matters look simpler hopefully:<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody valign=\"top\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 7px;

So you shouldn&#8217;t be using the Office Web Apps in Internet or Extranet situations unless access is limited to only those Office licenced users. One last thing, in order to purchase an eCAL for SharePoint, you already need to be licensed for standard edition of the product just like Lync 2010.
