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.

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
