Multi user version

[edrjds]

I work on 9 different computers on network through out my office, is there a
multi-user version or can you explain how to setup my network to use it
through one computer?

 

[Patrick Schmid [MVP]]

Are you talking about OneNote? If yes, which version? How many licenses
do you own? Are those nine computers only used by you?

Sorry, I have Onenote 2007, I have one license, and each computer is used by
one other person. I run a small rental office and would like to inform
evryone at the same time of updates without going to each dept. I thought a
multi user version would be easier than buying several copies.

The licensing is pretty much per-user. Each user would have to have a
separate license purchased for him/her. There are allowances in the
licening which allow for one user to user the software on multiple
machines, but that won't do what you are looking for.

To answer your original question, after you purchased and installed all 9
copies of OneNote on the computers, you can then create a Shared Notebook
on a file server (or on one of the 9 PCs if it is set up as a file server)
and then point all 9 computers to that Shared Notebook.

If you are using OneNote in a business environment, you need to buy separate
copies. If you are a home user, you can get OneNote 2007 with Home and
Student. That version comes with three licenses.

Inform them of what ?
OneNote has no messaging ability, sadly.

 

[Erik Sojka (MVP)]

Here you go again.

Why is it "sad" that a program which is not designed to have messaging
capabilities ends up not having messaging capabilities?

Is it also "sad" that OneNote does not directly contribute to world peace,
does not caulk around your sink, and does not keep your breath minty fresh?

 

[John Waller]

If Microsoft added messaging to ON, I think they would quickly be accused of
feature bloat.

 

[Erik Sojka (MVP)]

Well OneNote sure as heck doesn't clean my cat's litter box, I can tell you
that much.

 

[EMRhelp.org]

Why is it "sad" that a program which is not designed to have messaging
capabilities ends up not having messaging capabilities?

Because people want OneNote to do more than it does.
That's why.

Hardly is integrating some instant messaging an unreasonable request /
far off idea.
