you have reached a mailing list, so this will be available to everyone
who is interested.

Now let's see...

Depends on the platform - the choices imply that you are using a
Microsoft Windows platform, so *.exe is probably what you want. The
downloads are at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

GIMP can certainly run on a server, but the usual installation method is
on client PCs.

I can't think of any special requirements here.

This is easy - GIMP is licensed under the GNU GPL, and this license puts
no restrictions on usage: https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

Note that you can be required to pay attention to its terms regarding
distribution, see
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#InternalDistribution

No, a normal user can't install the program- the installers available
from http://www.gimp.org require admin rights (again, assuming this is
about a Windows platform)


> 6) Did the program run with admin rights?

It doesn't admin right to be run, but it can be run with admin rights
(no sure if I get that questions correctly).

None that we know of.

Not really - you might want to make sue that the online help is
accessible unless you plan to install that locally, but that is just
HTTP on standard ports.


> 9) How we can update ( from internet, will you make it, etc.) the software?

The usual method is to download from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/


> 10) In order to run the software, do we need to install additional tool or software?

No.
