Activation of multiple users

[drnate]

I installed MS Office 2003 yesterday and activated it with my administrator
account. The users are now being prompted to activate as well. I thought
once the software was activated, it was activated, and that was that.

Am I wrong, or did I set it up incorrectly?

If thats a terminal server, it needs a volume license for all users to use
the software.

"In Office 2003, the Retail and Enterprise editions can both be
installed to a Terminal Services—enabled server, if a license exists
for each user who will run any of the Office 2003 programs. (In Office
XP, administrators were limited to installing only an Enterprise
release of Office.)"

I intend to do the same shortly, and would be interested in further
comments. So far, I found this helpful:

Thank you for your responses. However, the computer I am installing the
software on is a regular run of the mill computer with Windows XP
Professional on it. It is not a terminal server. The computer is
configured for several users for auditing purposes and to give each user the
ability to customize the desktop settings. We will be setting up a network
shortly, but we are a long way from using any terminal services server.
Thank you again!

I misunderstood.

Did you install Microsoft Office for "Every user on this computer"? I
vaguely remember that there may be such an option early in the
installation. I have installed MS Office quite a few times on
workstations which are used by a number of different users and never had
this problem - but it's been a while.
