I have a customer who intends to run a fully Mac environment. No matter how much you hate or love Microsoft, you just can’t run away from it :)
There are still some stuff which you need to run in a Windows OS, so to overcome this, we set up a dual-boot on the Mac NB to allow the user to boot up in either Windows or Mac OS. Now, comes the licensing issue… for convenience sake, the user wants to be able to use MS Office in both OS so that he doesn’t need to reboot in order to make use of MS Office available in the other OS. Question now is, “How many MS Office licenses should they buy for each NB?” After some research, it seems that MS Office is tied to “per device”. Therefore, we only need to purchase 1 x MS Office license per NB, but in actual fact, we are installing 2 x copies of MS office per OS. Trust me, not many people know about this, not even the re-sellers who have been selling MS licenses for years!
Look at this extract from MS:
Hope this piece of information helps you save some money.
