You only get the licenses for server, not client software. It sounds like what you'd like to do is actually run terminal services on the server. There are few packages that will be loaded on the server and accessed by the client machine without having some software loaded on the client. Basically the data resides on the server. You CAN however, install software on the server and have the users establish a terminal services session (basically an advanced remote desktop session) with the server and run the software on the server. The benefit to doing that is software updates need only be run on the server and you have good control over who has access to it. That would require a Server operating system 2000/2003/2008 with an appropriate number of client access licenses (one for each simultaneous user, it comes with 5) AND Terminal Service licenses also, one for each simultaneous user. The other benefit to user terminal services is that the home version of the operating system could use it.
