Sounds like the serial numbers are used in some sort of file sharing scheme.
Now I'm not so sure my plan (see below) is so good.
I was thinking of installing Desktop Set so that the \DESKAPP directory is on a
network drive, and the \DESKTOP directory is on a local drive (or at least a
personal directory on the network). Then, the common calendar and phone book
files would be shared from a third directory. From the sound of it, this would
cause the same problems you referred to above. Would it?
Keep in mind that I would purchase the appropriate number of copies of the
software for the concurrent user count. Originally, we purchased less than the
required number of copies, when , after talking to a sales rep, I was told that
the network version would include 3 licenses, and would be available within the
month. That was almost 18 months ago. It's time to bite the bullet and buy
the individual copies. Then when we do buy the network version (I'll budget it
for next year <grin>) we'll have a few extra licenses.
