But I think it does even prevent that.

In the worst case scenario, you can unplug the computer from your network and run them. I know that's not ideal, especially if you want to use Entourage. By the way, I have a site license copy of Office purchased from my University. There is no security code that needs to be entered, and there is no problem running multiple copies. There are a number of legal copies installed by people here with no access codes, and they work just fine on our network. --Greg -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
