Buying a new copy is the only way to do it legally. Or you can buy a multiuser
license (for rather more than two copies of the retail).

This isn't actually the right place to ask - this forum is for the database
program Microsoft Access, not for licensing or purchasing questions.

The license for Microsoft Office requires that it run on 1 machine only.

 

[Arvin Meyer [MVP]]

Check the EULA for the version you have. It may allow you to make a second
copy for use on a portable (laptop) computer. That means you can have one
copy on a workstation/desktop machine and 1 copy on your own personal
laptop. You may not use both at the same time by different people.

if you were using Access Data Projects, then you could have multiple
people working on the database at the same time.
You could download SQL Server Management Studio (Express Edition) in
either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008 formats-- and you could just go to town.

Or you could run out and buy another copy of MS Access.exe and have
two developers email files, or use Visual Source Safe, etc.
Either way-- moving to SQL Server will save you time and labor, long
term.

Several retailers in the Vancouver area currently have the Office Home
and Student package on sale for $50. Perhaps it's available in your
area, too. After-Christmas sale that I suspect originates with
Microsoft. I found the price too attractive to pass up... deleted my
copy of Open Office. It's legal to use on up to 3 computers, although
not for commercial use.

And, just for those who might get over-excited about this "super bargain",
the Home and Student edition does NOT include Microsoft Access, the subject
of this newsgroup.

Mr, Kempf, the original question was about licensing, not about multiuple
users. What does your answer have to do with the question?

it's technically the same topic.

if you need multiple people to use Access, then you'd be best served
by moving to SQL Server
