Lisense questions

[Rj Keitchen]

Hi, i am in the process of changeing out some old computers for new computers
on a Server 2003 domain. When the new computers are installed they download
Office 2003 with Outlook 2003 from the server automaticly. However each
workstation also needs Powerpoint, Word, and Excel in order for the employees
to do their jobs. This is a very small business with only 6 computers and
not a large budjet.

My question is, since each new machine is getting Office 2003 from the
server and the server maintains the lisenses, can i just purchase the Office
2003 upgrade and install it on all the machines that are connected to the
server, or do I need to purchase individual software packages for each
workstation and have them all lisensed individuly?

Thanks for the help.

Rj

Use Volume Licensing. Buy the number of copies that match the number of
copies that you will run. I believe there is a 5 copy minimum. Then upgrade
the "install point" on the server and install from it to the machines.

Server licenses don't have anything to do with anything concering this.

Also when buying the Volume Licesne you can add Software Assurance and you
will be able to upgrade to newer versions for free up to 2 years or for
whatever time period the Software Assurance was purchased for.
