The licensing model for Microsoft Office is based on a "per device" basis. This means that each license of Microsoft Office 2019 can only be assigned to a single physical hardware system, which is referred to as the "licensed device." The license allows the software to be used exclusively on the licensed device.
For customers using commercial licensing, they have the right to install and use any number of copies of the software on the licensed device, whether it is a physical machine or a virtual machine. This gives businesses flexibility in deploying Microsoft Office across their infrastructure.
When it comes to remote access, customers are permitted to access Microsoft Office remotely. However, it is important to note that each physical device used for running or accessing the application requires its own license. This includes situations where the software is run on the user's local device or accessed from another device like a server. In other words, if multiple devices are being used to run or access Microsoft Office, a separate license is required for each of those devices.
These rules ensure compliance with Microsoft's licensing terms for Microsoft Office. It is essential for organizations to carefully manage their licenses to ensure they have the appropriate number of licenses for their devices and users, whether they are physical or virtual, to remain in compliance with the licensing agreement.
Customers should review the official licensing documentation and consult with a Microsoft licensing specialist to ensure compliance and determine the most suitable licensing approach for their specific requirements.
