If you only have five computers then you probably don't need project
professional and project server. They are really designed for large groups.
Project standard can share files over a network just as well as project pro.
In neither case can a file be edited by more than one user at a time.
If I am reading the EULA (end user license agreement) correctly, you will
need a license for each computer (for a local install) or a license for each
user (for a network install) so sounds like you might need 5 or you could
just install on a couple of computers and have users use those machines when
they need to use project. Here is what the EULA says.
SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE
The Software Product is protected by intellectual property laws and
treaties. The Software Product is licensed, not sold.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This Section of the EULA describes Your general license
rights to install and use the Software Product. It also describes a set of
additional license rights. The license rights described in this Section are
subject to all other terms and conditions of this EULA.
. General License Grant to Install and Use Software Product. You may install
and use one copy of the Software Product on a single computer, device,
workstation, terminal, or other digital electronic or analog device
("Device"). You do not have the right to allow other people to access and
use Your copy of the Software Product from Your Device unless You follow the
restrictions described in the alternative license grant in the next
paragraph. If You run a business or enterprise, You may install a second
copy of the Software Product on a portable Device owned by You for the
exclusive use of the person within Your business or enterprise who is the
user of the primary copy of the Software Product, provided that such person
only uses the second copy for business purposes, and provided that such
installation and use otherwise comply with all the terms and conditions of
this EULA. Additional License Grant for Microsoft Office Web Components: You
may access and use one (1) copy of the Office Web Component software
included in the Software Product.
a.. Alternative License Grant for Storage/Network Use. As an alternative
to the rights granted in the previous section, You may install a copy of the
Software Product on a storage Device, such as a network server, and allow
individuals within your business or enterprise to access and use the
Software Product from other Devices over a private network, provided that
you acquire and dedicate a license for the storage Device upon which the
Software Product is installed and each separate Device from which the
Software Product is accessed and used. This license does not give you a
right to allow anyone to access or use the Software Product over the
Internet. This license grant includes the right to exercise the additional
license rights described in the following sections. A license for the
Software Product may not be shared or used concurrently on different
Devices.
b.. Downgrades. Instead of installing and using the Software Product, you
may install and use one copy of an earlier version of the Software Product
on a single Device. Your use of such earlier version shall be governed by
this EULA, and your rights to use such earlier version shall terminate when
you install the Software Product.
. Additional License Grant for Systems Administrators. You may allow
system administrators within Your business or enterprise to access and use
the Software Product for the sole purpose of assisting You with installing,
configuring, and maintaining that copy of the Software Product. You must
obtain separate licenses to the Software Product for systems administrators
to use the Software Product as described in other sections of this EULA.

5 of our computers (we're a small business) and then only 2 will use it at a
time? We'll each be able to access the same info, right?
