Will discuss at next Steering Committee Meeting if report is back from Gartner Group. All agreed is a good idea to do the study. Steve Swanson spoke on non-concurrent licensing. Microsoft changed their licensing policy. Department used to do concurrent licensing.
All software now needs to be taken off the server and loaded locally on each machine.
This is driving hardware issues on some of the older machines both memory and hard disk space. If this issue is driving any dollar issues in your area in terms of memory or hard disk space it is strictly related to the whole issue of losing concurrent licensing. There is a concern this is related to Office 2000 but that is not true. This is a trend in the industry now, not just Microsoft. Once disk space cleaned up, can clear lots more hard drive space to load software.
