How do I ensure Office 2k Premium is licensed to only the admi

How do I ensure Office 2k Premium is licensed to only the administrator
(me) on Win2k Pro? It evidently wants to install for each user in my family.

I recently reinstalled Win2k Pro and W2k office premium (and SP3)
When my wife wanted to use W2k office for the first time the app started
an install under her account in Win2k Pro.
I allowed the app access to the CD, it installed Office 2k Premium and
now runs fine.

EXCEPT, under my wife's account, Office 2k states it's licensed to my
wife.

Per the registry, it's registered to me - I searched the product ID in
the registry.

I want to ensure I can have Office 2k Premium registered ONLY under the
adminstrator (me) not multiple users on the computer.

Please guide me - I believe this will require a registry change after each
user intializes an Office Product the first time.

I'd REALLY appreciate an email if you know how to correct this and are
willing to send the response to me.

Thank you
Brad

Hi, Brad,

The software is licensed to the machine, not the user. If your only concern
is license compliance, then you have no worries.

If you want to limit access, you'll probably need to use Group Policies in
Windows 2000 to limit what people have access to. Check in the W2K groups
or documentation about how to do this.
