Office on a small network

Hi Doug,

If what Dell is quoting is an OEM edition of MS Office, those copies are (a) licensed to the machine they're sold with (i.e. they're
not transferable) and (b) direct support would be by Dell rather than by Microsoft.

<<"Doug" <dougATloweNOSPAMwriterDOTcom> wrote in message Thanks for your suggestions, Susan. I should have mentioned that as part of
this upgrade we're migrating to Office 2003. According to the 2003 ORK at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011401931033.aspx, you must
have a volume license to run setup in administrative mode.

It also implies that you must have a volume license to install from a
compressed CD image on a network share, as the procedures at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011402031033.aspx say you the
user must accept the EULA and enter a valid volume license key to install
from a compressed CD image.

I'll call the number you gave me on Monday to ask Microsoft. I've spoken
with a reseller (softsource) who sells the volume license for $465 or
therabouts, but you can get it with a new machine from Dell for $329.

Thanks again,

--Doug >>

Yes, I understand. My message wasn't quite clear...when I said I can get
"it" from Dell for $329, what I meant by "it" was a retail license of
Office, not a volume license.
