How does Access licensing work?
If we have 500 users out of which about 200
use the same mdb files. But sometimes these users may
want to build their own reports.
Do we need to buy 500 licenses or we can do away with
300 as 200 users use the same mdb.
Do we need to have a separate license for each computer
we install access on?
What are the various options available?
Thank you,
-Richa

If you had a Word document and needed 500 users to be able to open it how
many licensed copies of Word would you need? 500 of course.
The only difference with Access is that you can buy a Developer's Version
of Office which allows you to install royalty free Runtime versions of
Access so people can use an Access file without having to have a fully
licensed version of Access installed. The Runtime however; cannot be used
to create any new objects or make any design changes to existing ones. In
addition, a file used in the Runtime has be quite a bit more "polished"
since the Runtime does not provide any of the standard Access interface for
opening forms and reports. All of these have to be provided by the
developer as customized objects.
