Hi! Please help me in my question. I’m going to build a small business, an internet cafe. I am from the Philippines and the price for a license for MS Windows XP and MS Ofice 2003 is so expensive. I have eleven computers, 10 computers for rentals and 1 server. Now, my question is ….. If I buy only one Genuine MS Office 2003 and Genuine MS OS,… can I install it to all the other computers? Is it legal? I want a legal business so I can download latest update from Microsoft… PLEASE HELP ME….

    You have to buy the small business version of the software. The business software comes with a limit on the licenses. Are all your computers going to have access to your main computer? Then you need this site for this help:

    To be legal in the us and have a business it is wise to buy the legal copies of the software. If you don’t want to pay this high price try Ebay.com for some of the software you might need.

    Good luck. =o)

    One license = one computer, unless you’ve bought a multi-license package. You will not be compliant with MS license requirements if you follow this plan.

    If money is tight, why don’t you use the free OpenOffice suite instead of MS Office? It does most of the same stuff, is compatible with most MS Office file formats, and it doesn’t cost anything. See

    Why don’t you install Ubuntu for the client machines, with Open Office instead of MS Office, and NetBSD for the server? Total Cost of Ownership = $0.00. It’s legal, and you don’t have to worry about worms, viruses and weekly updates.
