Nope. Your friend has to run Armory and Core too.

another question
then, to able for him to watch every address of his wallet, how can i export all the addresses in once and give them to him.
or is there any other way on having watch the entire wallet?

I think there's a feature somewhere that lets you export a text list of addresses you control. If so, importing those addresses would be the easiest thing to do, otherwise they'd have to be punched in by hand.

Wallet Properties -> Backup This Wallet -> See Other Backup options -> Select "export keys list" -> click "export keys list" button -> UNCHECK EVERYTHING

Then check ONLY "Address String" and "Included Unused (Address Pool)". This will show all the currently generated addresses.

The problem with this, is that when new addresses are generated (after the current ones start getting used) he won't have the new addresses... so will start missing addresses and transactions after a while.
