| 444341 | 2006-04-06 02:43:00 | Hey guys, currently busy with a uni assignment and I'm a bit stuck with software applications. I 'm recommending an install of MS Office 2003 Small Business Edition. The main office will be running a client/server network (MS Server 2003). Here (www.imagef1.net.nz) is what the network setup looks like. The main office has a total of 6 workstations connected to it. What I want to know is how many copies of MS Office 2003 SBE do I have to purchase? CanI buy 1 copy and run it off the server or do I need to buy a copy/licence for each workstation? Any idea of the cost for each licence? I can't seem to get this info anywhere. cheers chiefnz |

The cheaper option would be OEM but if they are existing workstations then you can't supply OEM as OEM has to be supplied with new hardware. |

| 444345 | 2006-04-06 08:46:00 | Cheapest would be 2 copies of Student and Teachers version. Not legal, but certainly cheapest ... |

| 444347 | 2006-04-06 10:08:00 | Another way to get cheap Microsoft software is to sign up as a Microsoft Partner then subscribe to the Action Pack. Costs about $850, from memory, for the first year then about $650 each year after that. You get pretty much every software title that Microsoft makes plus you can use Office / frontpage/ publisher / XP Pro / on 10 machines and you get 10 licenses for the server software. They also send you quartely updates with new titles. Basically you get about $40,000 (retail price) of software for stuff all. |

| 444349 | 2006-04-07 02:53:00 | I think that the installation is a hypothetical one for an assignment. So the cheapest solution, especially a non-legal one, would probably lose marks. | Graham L (2) | ||
