Hi all, I have a question and hope that I could get some help from you
experts :).

The church that I go to just got a donation of 12 computers. We're
thinking about setting them up for classes for senior citizens or
homemakers who want to get back to the workplace. Obviously we're
going to need to install MS Office on these machines. The problem is,
the church's budget is limited and therefore would like to find out
what "low-cost" ways are possible. We are NOT going to install pirated
software.

I found out that it's not possible to buy MS products for a church
under the category of non-profit, so that's out of the question. The
other option is to buy an older version. So my question is:

1. Is there such a thing that when an Office is old enough, then we
can install it on multiple computers using one license? If this is the
case, then we can buy one copy of Office 97 and install it on all the
machines.
2. If not, what options to we have? Buy 12 copies of Office 97?

Do you know if the same policy also applies to Windows OS?

Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
