And it seems like there is such a home site license... It's just impossible to purchase. As I mentioned in a previous post, there IS a single user license pack [for customers owning one commercial copy]. It is *explicitly* mentioned in paragraph 3.2 of the "Installation Read Me.html" document, but nobody at Microsoft has heard of it -- outside of the Legal dept. <g> Straight from the aforementioned Read Me: [snip] > * Microsoft License Pack�� The MLP authorizes you to use additional copies > of a specified, previously licensed Microsoft product.
