I think not. I had a similar query about 2 years ago. The response I got
from licensing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx was "no - Office is a per user license, not
a per concurrent user license", so you need a license for each user who
uses office. Note, certain licenses allow you to have office installed
on more than 1 PC, provided you only use 1 at a time.

For a definate answer, send you query to: licensing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
