What is involved in using my copy of PUB2002 on a network?

I have a copy of PUB2002 I purchased several years ago and would like to
uninstall it at home and install it on the network at my church where I
volunteer. I read a little about License Packs but am not sure if this is
the answer, how to go about getting it, cost, etc? We are not able to afford
to purchase Publisher for the whole group of us, but I do the weekly Woship
bulletin, currently in Word, and want to convert to Publisher, so I thought I
could save us some money by using my copy. Any good and legal info would be
appreciated.

Open Publisher, select Help, and type "publisher on a network" (sans
quotes) and it will guide you.

=======================================
Did you actually try that in Pub2002? It definitely
does not find the answer the OP requested in my
copy of Pub2002. Maybe you tried it in the Pub2000
version?

To read the EULA...open Pub2002...
Search Help for "EULA"...choose...
"View the End User License Agreement"

In the Q&A...you'll find the following dialog:

====================================
In what ways can I use the software over a network?

The End-User License Agreement (EULA)

permits you to store a copy of the software

on a storage device used as a network file

server, for the purpose of installing the software

on computers connected to that storage

device by means of your internal network.

In addition, you may install the software on

a storage device used as a network applications

server so that computers connected to that

storage device by means of your internal

network can run the software from that

source. You must acquire and dedicate

a license for each separate computer on

which the software is installed and for the

storage device as well. By dedicating a

license to a particular computer, you are

assigning the license exclusively to that

computer for an indefinite period of time.

A license to use a particular copy of the

software may not be shared or used

concurrently on different computers.

Why do you want to install it on the network?

If I were you, I would uninstall Publisher from your machine, and
install it on one machine at the church. That would be legal and
practical (you cannot run Publisher directly off a network, so you'd
just have to put the files onto the server and install to each machine
from there; it would probably be simpler to use the CD to install on
each. That would also not be legal.).
