Can SQL Standard Edition with User CALs be used as the backend to a website?

I just need a straight answer. Is it allowable to use SQL Standard Edition
as the database for a website if you are using user or device CALs instead o
f per processor licensing? The plan is for a company website running IIS on
d SQL standard edition on t
he same server. The only connection to the SQL server would be the user acc
ount that accesses the databases on the ASP.NET pages. There would be no ex
ternal direct connection to the SQL server.
Every search I have done has said I should use per processor licensing for t
he backend SQL server, but it does not say that I have to. Any help would b
e appreciated. Please feel free to email me.
Thanks!Exposing data through a web server to the public when in Per Seat mode is a
violation of the Licensing agreement.
