Remote Access: Sharing MS Publisher 2007
I understand remote access to mean one person at a computer in a location having access to another computer in another location. If this is the case, is software required? If so, would it be necessary to make two separate purchases of this software: one for each computer?
The reason why I’ve asked this question is that I’m editor of my church’s monthly magazine. The computer in the Church Office (which connects with at least one other computer at another location by remote access) has Microsoft Publisher 2007. However, due to chronic illness, it is easier for me to work at home. I could purchase MS Publisher, but I’m on a low income and if is at all possible I would prefer to avoid this. If, in this case, remote access is feasible, would it be possible for me to connect to the computer in the church office from my computer in my house and use the church computer’s MS Publisher 2007? Finally, if it is technically possible to share MS Publisher 2007 in this way, would it be permitted under the terms and conditions of the end user’s license agreement? The two computers have Windows XP. My computer is Home Edition. The computer in the church office might be Professional. Last edited by donaldfleming; 09-02-2011 at 07:59 PM. |

Remote Desktop is a feature of XP, no money changes hands.
This very useful video will give you a good idea of how it works and how to set it up : Tutorial - How To Use Remote Desktop - YouTube Sent from my iPad

I knew there was remote desktop on XP, but I thought it was tougher to use than Logmein or something.

Get a free logmein.com account, and install it on the church computer. There won't be any licensing issues, you would be remotely operating the church computer through your web browser. This is easier than MS Remote Desktop because you don't have to reconfigure the church router.

When someone at home uses a computer in their workplace by remote access, does this prevent another person in the workplace from using the same computer?
Say I was at home remotely accessing MS Publisher on the work computer. Would this prevent another employee at work from using a different program on the workplace computer? |

Yes it would, you would need to coordinate your access times.
