Miss Tick,

Just because someone works for MS, doesn't make their word gospel. This
person should have checked their facts because, if that is what they said
and you haven't just misinterpreted, they're talking out their arse. The STE
version of Office XP is one licence *PER SYSTEM*. As I stated earlier, the
three system rule only applies to the STE of 2003 - *AND NO OTHER VERSION*.
It also doesn't specify how the three installations may be used - all three
computers could be at home - or at school, they could all be desktops or
they could all be laptops - it makes no difference.
Are you sure they don't allow two computers with an Student office xp?
I am not talking about the office xp operating system.




It also doesn't apply to "any Office version" - the retail (not STE) may be
installed on one desktop and one laptop, provided the conditions I stated in
my earlier post are met. An OEM licence is tied to the computer it was first
installed on, and cannot be removed and installed on any other.
I keep forgetting that Microsoft has office oems. I just keep
thinking that office is retail & student only.



Don't repeat 'information' you have heard elsewhere without checking it
first - whether the person works for MS or not. Someone who works in the
Windows dept probably doesn't have a clue what the licensing is for Office
and vice versa.
I post want I think is correct period

Please don't post unless you are 100% sure of the facts and have double
checked them first. What you have posted is completely false.
No not completely.
Repeating any retail not student version of office can be installed on
two computers at the same time. But cannot be used at the same time.
Some Students office version may be able to be installed on two to
three computers.
