What is the difference between Authenticated and unauthenticated licensing on Windows 2008?

Authenticated licensing allows your server to be a member of an Active Directory structure and is more expensive. Unauthenticated licensing is less expensive and is designed for servers not participating in Active Directory. We chose to offer both options so that our customers can reduce their licensing cost for Non Active Directory servers.
