Does MS Office 2003 administrative fee have to be paid for each PC?

Hello!  This is my first attempt to use TechSoup and this forum.  I am trying to help an organization that recently qualified with TechSoup to place their first order. 

We would like to order MS Office 2003 for use on up to three PC's.  The order form on this page:          

http://www.techsoup.org/stock/product.asp?catalog_name=TechSoupMain&category_name=Office%20Tools%20MS&product_id=LS-2304&Cat1=Microsoft&Cat2=Office%20Tools%20MS&CatCount=2

says that the "administrative fee" is $20.  Does this fee have to be paid for EACH PC?  Or can we pay the fee ONE time and install MS Office 2003 on up to three PC's? 

If this question should be posted elsewhere, please let me know where that should be. 

Thanks for any response.  
 

The administrative fee needs to be paid for each PC you will install office on.  So if you are installing on 3 PCs you will need 3 licenses with three administrative fees.

Now if you replace one of the PCs, you can un-install office from that PC and reinstall the same license on the new PC, still limiting yourself to a total of 3 (or the quantity you order)

Also there is a 5 seat minimum requirement, so you will need to order 5 licenses of office, or 3 copies of office and 2 server CALs to meet the minimum order requirements.

NOW before you pull the trigger on the order, consider what your expansion needs are for the next year.  Consider carefully as your opportunity for this donation is one time for the next 12 months,

I would suggest getting an extra copy of office for the shelf, in case you add a position with another computer in 9 months.

Also look at some of the other products that may benefit your operations like mappoint or project or visio this can get you some it would be nice to have software at a reasonable fee for the donation.

Remember you are receiving a donation of a $500.00 product for a $20.00 admin fee, providing a tremendous savings to your non profit org.

Thanks so much, Dave.  Two additional questions: 

1.  What is a "server CAL" that you mentioned? 

2.  Could the "five seat minimum requirement" be met by ANY MS software?  For example, Frontpage 2003 ($7), or Streets and Trips ($2), or Visio Standard 2007 ($10) ??

Thanks again for your response.

Yes (look at map point over streets and trips you can do much more with map point) you can meet the minimum with multiple items so you could order

Quan     Desc         price   Extended

3       MS OFFICE  $20.00   $60.00

1       MS Visio        $10.00   $10.00

1      MapPoint        $12.00  $12.00

The Server Cal is one of the items with the lowest administrative fee, so if the boss is so short sighted and refuses to let you order any additional titles and only allows the 3 office seats to be ordered you can then meet the minimum seats by ordering 2 of the server cals for $2.00 each (it looks like the streets and trips would accomplish the same thing)

Dave

or Qty 2 Streets and Trips, right?
