Which version to purchase?

I did a search of the discussions, but still am not clear.

We have three people that will need to use Project, but not concurrently.
Can I purchase 3 licenses for the standard edition, save the project file on
the server, and have others access that data (like putting a word doc on the
server and having other users open it)? Or will I need to purchase
professional and server to do this?

Hi,

No, absolutely not; Standard will do.

Yes, if you have three people using project pro and project server would
appear to be overkill.
Project Standard will work in the way you describe "like a word document".
