Only difference really between them is how many nodes you can configure, you 
figure on having a large number of nodes or decide you want to be 
particularly supportive of the continued development of IREX then buy the 
server version. Up to you.

DOS version should work well, tho your key will work with all versions of 
IREX on all supported operating systems.
