I'm looking to set up M365 Business Premium with Shared Computer Activation using the Office Customization Tool. My plan is to get Business Premium licenses for an office environment where employees mainly use one computer but also log in on other PCs with their domain credentials, including using an RDP server. However, when I opened the Office Customization Tool, I saw that it contains a massive 40 pages of application settings, including many duplicates like 'Places Bar Location #1' and 'Unsafe Location #1.' It's frustrating because every time I make a change, it resets to the first page. Is the Office Customization Tool actually user-friendly? What's the deal with all these settings?

You really don't need to worry too much about those specific settings. They are there, but for your case, you can just pick the right suite of Office apps for Business and select 'Shared Computer' under Licensing and Activation, which is perfect for RDS or computers with multiple users logging in. Just adjust what you need and skip the rest!
Thanks! I figured those extra settings weren't necessary for my situation, but the complexity was surprising!
