We are looking into purchasing 11.x  We have four servers (one Web) all are Win Server 2003. How many licenses do we need to purchase? One per Server?  Reading the liturature I can't tell if the 5-user license means 5 servers or not.

there are two components to SEP:
 
1. The SEPM - Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager - the enterprise management console - this does not contain any form of AV protection
 
2. The SEP Client - Symantec Endpoint Protection Client - the AV/AS/TruScan/FW/IDS client component that can be installed on both server and client OS's
 
SEP itself is licensed on SEP clients - these can be managed or unmanaged.  If you have 5 servers and want to install AV protection onto them all, you need 5 SEP licenses - there is no requirement to license SEPM separately you can have as many as you need, you just pay for client licenses.
 
Does that help?
