MS office licensing

a small business has ~20 computers. what is the best way to get office on all of them? how much will it cost?

i thought there was some sort of office server you could install to reduce the cost of licenses?

can't you just buy 1 copy of office and then buy licenses ($70 i thought) for each computer you want to install that on?

any other ideas? tips? how long do licenses last?

Microsoft Open License is a software volume licensing program designed for corporate, government, charity, and academic customers who order as few as five licenses.

Price from an authorized reseller ~ $598.66 per user license

Where did you get that info (not sarcastic, just asking for a link to validate the info)? For Office 95 you could legally put a 2nd copy on a home PC (if you had one at your "work computer" or if the one was on a laptop. Then for Office 2000 you could not even do that (I don't know about Office 97, I skipped that one). I don't recall any EULA that allowed three installs.


edit -> perhaps it was educational version at which I do not have any experience

Q. How many times can I install Office 2003 Editions?
A. You can install one copy of Office Professional Edition 2003, Office Small Business Edition 2003, and Office Standard Edition 2003 on your main computer and another on your laptop computer for your exclusive, but non-concurrent use. To install a version of these Office 2003 Editions on more than these two computers, you must obtain another license for the program. You can install Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 on up to three computers in your household if a household member is qualified. You can work with Office 2003 Editions at your desk and when mobile. Note Licenses for the 2003 release of Office acquired preinstalled on new computers are single-computer licenses that cannot be transferred or installed on another computer.
