So here is what I want to accomplish. I have a lot of users that I want to be able to access WA internally, and a few that I want to be able to access it across the internet. I can use my web application firewall to do a second login page in front of the LF one, but that only works if I use AD accounts, and for these people I would rather not. I know in WA Admin I can set who can login on the web, is there a way to have two seperate installs of WA, ideally on the same server, one with allowed through the firewall so that I can maintain two lists users who can login. Also does this require special licensing in Avente?

Installing Web Access on a second machine would require a second license, but it sounds like that isn't necessary in your case. What you want is a second instance of the Web Access web application on that same machine. In order to do that, you would just create a new Application in IIS. Since you want it to use different settings from the first, you would want to point it to a copy of the Web Files folder in Web Access (otherwise they will read from the same configuration files). If you're not familiar with IIS it can be tricky to copy over all of the application settings from the first one. Also, since the Web Access installation doesn't know about your copy of the files, it won't touch them when you apply any updates, so you'll have to handle that yourself.
