Hi H.T.,

You'd need to ask your management or IT folks on the background as to the method they chose. It may be to minimize the number of
licenses used or it could be the first time installation for a specific machine or just a roaming profile setup run (it's the same
installer/configuration tool, but it usually has a shorter runtime than a full install would).

For specifics on licensing you may want to phone the MS Licensing folks.

I cannot find any information on per seat/per user licensing in reference to
Office. All I found was that Office licenses are concurrent licenses.
The clients are regular (Win XP SP2) not Terminal Server clients.
The installation seems to be a full one, users see the same installation
process as if they installed from a CD where they have to choose typical or
custom and which applications to install, etc.

Couldn't the SA at least automate the Office install so that it is the same
for all of the users and they would not have to select anything the 1st time
they access one of the Office apps? >>
