Activation of multiple users

[Michael Bednarek]

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.

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.

Michael,

I appreciate you getting right back to me. I wonder if an error occurred
when I first activated the software. I just went ahead and (re-)activated
it. Now everything works fine. All users are able to use it without each
having to activate it.

I'm not sure what happened there, but it works OK now. Interesting about
the Terminal Services issue. We use TS at my clinic (other was for Church),
but elected not to buy Office due to the licensing issues. We have
OpenOffice installed on it and we get by OK.

Thanks again,
drnate

Huge companies use volume license so that "N" number of ppl can use it.
Its just that it requires license for each user on the Terminal Server.
Thats why its written in that article that you have pasted "if a license
exists for each user
who will run any of the Office 2003 programs"
Additionally there are MSDN licenses which i think supports 10 users.
