Quicken on a home network.

Good thing I'm NOT a lawyer.

The license agreement for Quicken 2007 Home & Business allows for use on "up
to three (3) computers used by a single household."

"For optimal results when using Quicken, Intuit recommends installing a
separate version of Quicken on each computer's hard drive. To purchase
additional copies of the current version of Quicken please visit
Quicken.com."

I'm no lawyer, but my reading of this is that if you run Quicken over a
network, you need to purchase separate licenses for each computer.
======================================
Many companies will let you use one copy on your desktop *and* your laptop
(assuming you're using your laptop when you can't use your desktop PC). Some
will let you have them on more than one desktop PC as long as there isn't
"concurrent" use (which I suspect wouldn't work with Quicken anyway).
Licensing agreements are all over the place on this.

I use a nice program to help with the networking aspects: Network Magic.

I just share the folder that the data files reside in on the 'main'
machine and access it through the other two machines.

I have loaded the Quicken Program on each machine and performed the
updates to get the programs all at the same level.

Good luck.
