Microsoft Office Licensing

[reaser]

What is the best method for a small business needing roughly 10 copies of Microsoft Office. Eventually the office will expand and they may even open several locations. As of right now it's just a small office of 8 computers.

I've read a little about volume licensing and I know you can just buy x amount of standalone copies. What is the most practical as well as reasonably priced method to go about doing this?

A link on the bottom to run through the licensing advisor. I suggest volume..you'll have your license keys available online through eOpen. Don't lose your user/pass account for that. When you need to purchase more..you simply purchase additional volume keys..you only use the original volume install CD that you are shipped...no need for additional more expensive full retail kits. If you need to keep up with the latest versions of Office frequently..consider the software assurance option. More expensive up front...less expensive in the long run if you always need the latest versions.
