Can I use Web Connector on a server if I choose "I will NOT be using QuickBooks on this computer"?

When installing QuickBooks on a server for multi-user use, there are two options to choose from:

  • I'll be using QuickBooks on this computer, AND I'll be storing our company file here so it can be shared over our network.
  • I will NOT be using QuickBooks on this computer. I'll be storing our company file here so it can be shared over our network.

The second option doesn't use up a license seat.  Can I use QuickBooks Web Connector on the server if I choose the second option?
