You need to check with Microsoft.
I know that an OEM windows license is not transferrable to another PC,
whereas a "boxed" one is. But 50 "boxed" licenses are 50 single user
licenses, not 1 multi-user license for 50 users.
There are licenses that are available for a single user, but on multiple
machines, licenses that are for a single product and multiple users,
licenses that are single product / single machine and transferrable,
etc.
I recently found out that all our users need to have an MS Office
Professional license to access any aspect of MS Office, even though we
only have about 20% of users who need to use MS Access, and that they
would even need an MS Office Professional license if the only thing we'd
installed was Word, as it's an Office Professional installation of Word.
MS licensing is complex and confusing, but generally if you email them
and explain what's what, you get an answer back within 48 hours.

Subject: [THIN] Shrinkwrapped boxes of Office 2003
Quick question: are you allowed to use these Office 2003
licenses on a Terminal Server/Citrix environment ?
Meaning to say you have 50 of these boxes and you install one of
them and 50 users connecting
to the Terminal/Citrix server can use Office 2003.
Or do you need Office 2003 Open Licenses ?
Thanks.
Jan
