We'd like to upgrade Office in a company with 15 computers (13 pc/2
laptop). Currently each system is running Office 2000 professsional,
with Outlook 2003 (came with SBS 2003).
What are the advantages of getting 15 open licenses (at about $480 a
pop) vs. getting 13 Office 2007 Pro upgrades (about $300 a pop)?
The disk for Office 2000 is long gone...it was copied to the server
years ago (well before I arrived) and installs of it are done from
there. Can I point to a network drive while upgrading to prove
ownership? (I'm thinking down the road when we get a new computer and
have to install 2007 on it; moving it from the old computer). I do
have the disk for Outlook 2003, as that just got installed a year ago.
I'm having a hard time convincing the owner to spend $7600 (the quote
for the Open Licenses with tax and media) vs. $3900. Is there a
compelling reason to go for the licenses? Will it save me that much
time vs. a machine to machine install?
Thanks
