Actually, I remembered it the same as you, but after reading your comments, I thought I should check because I was going on memory alone and that has 'slapped me in the face' too many times! :o)

>>From VFP8's EULA:
>>
>>
>>MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE
>>1. GRANTS OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the rights described in this EULA provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA.
>> 1.1 General License Grant. Microsoft grants to you as an individual, a personal, nonexclusive license to use the Software, and to make and use copies of the Software for the purposes of designing, developing, testing, and demonstrating your software product(s), provided that you are the only individual using the Software.
>> If you are an entity, Microsoft grants to you a personal, nonexclusive license to use the Software, and to make and use copies of the Software, provided that for each individual using the Software within your organization, you have acquired a separate and valid license for each such individual.
>> 1.2 Documentation. You may make and use an unlimited number of copies of any documentation, provided that such copies shall be used only for personal purposes and are not to be republished or distributed (either in hard copy or electronic form) beyond your premises.
>>
>> 1.3 Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install or run the Software on computers used by licensed end users in accordance with Section 1.1. A single license for the Software may not be shared or used concurrently by multiple end users.
>>

>>>If I remember correctly, the license prohibits installation on a server. However, it can be installed on multiple PCs as long as only used on one workstation at a time.
>>>
>>>>A client of mine uses VFP for a single mail merge procedure every month performed by one person. Thus, only one copy of VFP is required. However, they want to install it on their server and allow the person who performs this giant mail merge process to be able to work on any one of three workstations. Two people are never in VFP at the same time. Is using VFP in this manner breaking the licensing agreement? If it is then I'll have to advise my client to purchase three copies of VFP and install them on three different machines.
