But to be fair, I think you mentioned a long, long time ago that your particular MS agreement didn't have the 80/20 clause in it. For some places, they would only need on license for each device and could use if for TS and the workstation.

MS does not offer a special licensing program for Office. If your MF users also have Office on their desktops, then you will need additional licenses to use it in the TS world. We have 500+ metaframe users who have Office on their work desktops. Microsoft came back and said we need an additional license for each user if they want to run it from metaframe. We ended up publishing Office to only those users/workgroups that purchased the additional licensing. The bulk of our users get the Office viewers when they remote in. By the way, these are NOT concurrent licenses. They must be per user and limited to those users who have purchased the additional licenses. adam "Beckett, William \(Bill\)" <bill.beckett@ste To elcase.com> <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: cc thin-bounce@freel ists.org Subject [THIN] Office and legalities 09/29/2006 07:02 AM Please respond to thin@xxxxxxxxxxxx g Can I get some people to weigh in on the following scenario? - With a published application environment, you can restrict who gets access to what. If you don't want someone running office on a Citrix box, then you can prevent them from running Office on a Citrix box. So let's say I have 5 MS office 2003 licenses. I install it and publish it for 5 users in the farm. Am I legal within those boundaries from a Microsoft licensing perspective?
