I have several people who need to work concurrently on a computer in my home office from remote locations. I have found that Windows Server 2008 R2 will allow multiple user sessions but I have not been able to figure out how to provide them legal access to Excel. I don't mind buying multiple licenses but I can't seem to understand how they could be installed.

I believe this thread answers the question. Basically you need to license the server as a terminal services server, and then license office through the volume license program for the correct number of users.

  • I wouldn't worry, understanding MS Licensing is an entire course to itself!

Have you looked into Office365? It allows you to run Office Apps over the web.

From MS website:

Access and share from anywhere with anyone

  • View and edit Office documents on your devices, anywhere you go.
  • Work with others across platforms, devices, and Office versions to write papers, prepare presentations, create spreadsheets, and take notes.
  • Store documents on the web so you can share them with anyone who has a supported browser, even if they don't have Office installed.
