Hi Gregg
I don't have personal experience, but if my memory still serves me, Peachtree has advertised that if you only need to facilitate two users, you acquire two single user packages, and the two licenses will allow two accesses to the same data files. If you need three or more accesses, then that seems to be the price cross-over point where it would be beneficial to acquire a "value pack" multi-user license allowing up to five user accesses.
To be sure, double-check with Peachtree sales as to their claims in this regard.

->They do have a single license, but what I do not know is if they can just
->buy another identical package and have those two work, or if it needs a
->network version of the application or a network or multi-user license.
->
->I already found a good price for the same package currently in use
->(single-license package)..
->
->Assuming they were to buy another identical single-license package (with its
->own serial number), do you know if that would allow them to leave PT open on
->the server with a company open and then open the new serial number package
->from a workstation? Or is there an actual requirement of a multi-user
->license?
