We do scenario 1. It works better than you described. What happens
when you start SW is that you get SW and whatever addins you had
previously checked off. Since SW put that nifty Office icon on the
toolbar you need only turn on what you need when you need it and then
turn it off. This is where network saved us bucks because we need the
Office functionality from time to time, but couldn't predict where or
when. Now it doesn't matter. And we can afford to have people running
SW that couldn't be justified before.
The second scenario could cause problems because SW wouldn't know
which serial number it was supposed to be running. Remeber that
network or not, SW is installed the same on each machine. The serial
number is in the registry and you would somehow have to tell SW which
serial number to use. Keep it Simple.
As a bonus, with the network license you can checkout a seat or if you
have high speed on both ends run it remotely.
The one caveat is that once you go network going back is difficult and
it will cost you. However, with the new licensing for standalones I
don't think you can do multiple installs on the honor system anymore.
