At work we are getting a database program type thing, we have 2 seperate offices. We are getting 2 user licences with it

Office 1 has 2 PCs networked to each other and an adsl router

Office 2 has 1 very basic server/ Pc this is not used buy anyone but does hold the database file for programs we have on the the other 3 PCs all 4 are networked together and conected to an adsl router.

My plan install 1 licence on the server in office 2 and allow remote access from office 1 for both pcs with go to my pc

Install 1 licence on 1 of the other pcs in office 2 so anyone at the location will have to use that pc if they want to use the program

Will this work and how easy is go to my pc to set up?

if you made it this far thanks

I'd check the terms on that licence.
"1 user" for windows means installed on 1 PC, dependant on how your contractor work you might have to pay 1 licence per PC you install the software on.
Server side apps don't normally constitue a user licence. User licences tend to refer to client PCs or logged in clients. It would be very unwise to have the "server" doubling as a workstation as people can break workstations.

Ive checked with the software co and they say thats fine licence wise

The remote users would only have access to that one program and nothing else
