Microsoft Access and Citrix Metaframe
If we have several hundred users accessing applications, specifically some access databases, via Citrix Metaframe. how does that impact Microsoft Office licensing?
Each user will have front ends installed on their mapped network share... but technically, they are all using the same installed copy of Office correct? The one that is installed on the Citrix server?
Or am I not understanding this? We have been acquired by a company that uses Citrix for all of their applications, so I am new to this concept. They have all of their inhouse users accessing apps through Citrix which they say enables them to not have to update workstations, etc with software.

As far as how they are doing the licensing for the other office products, I don't know but I am sure they do.
So yes, I am learning all I can about the Access RunTime these days in an effort to salvage 7 years worth of development of different access apps I have put together. In fact, here is a followup question:
