Allow use of messenger live to a standard user account on a PC/Lap

Is it possible to allow other users of a PC/Laptop to have access to and use
Live Messenger. Using their own account or create one for thier use on a
system that already has Messenger installed for one user(Administrator)?
Hmm, or is it necessary to download and install Messenger Live for each user?

Greetings Jerome,

After Messenger is installed on the system (by an admin), it will be available in the Program
Files folder and available to every account on the system - admin, standard or otherwise.

Thank you. The user had not opened Messenger Live and added their email
account Information yet, they have now and every thing is working okay so far.
