How to obtain and activate additional copy of OffixeXP?

I have Office XP standard for Students and Teachers (ver. 2002). I have it
on our family laptop, and I need to install it on the desktop which recently
had it's hard drive rebuilt. So I checked the License and intalled it on the
desktop computer, but can't activate it.

Under Software Product License, Grant of License, 1.1 General License it
allows me to "obtain as many copies of the Software Product as the number of
Qualified Educational Users such parent or guardian is the parent of legal
guardian for."

I certainly don't want to do anything illegal, but I thought I was following
the agreement. How do I activate this copy?

Due to EULA changes you can install that on two systems legally now.( it
used to be one)
If you having activation issue's use the activate by phone option you will
need just to explain your issue to the agent.

a.. Student and Teacher Edition - 1 PC and 1 laptop, transferable

Sorry, but that is complete BS. Office XP STE is one licence *per system*.
True, it's transferable but it *CANNOT* be installed on more than one system
simultaneously. That was introduced with - and only applies to - Office 2003
STE, which may be installed - and activated - on up to three systems in any
combination.

There has been no licensing change for Office XP STE.

Um check your sources this was rolled out the same time office 2003 was
rolled out
Have doubts? Call MS
I received this data straight from MS

OK, point me to the reference on the MS website. Oh and I called MS; they
told me you were talking BS.

OK you asked for the activation dept right?
It dont matter If homeschool dad calls to activate by phone he will have no
issues.
If you talked to a customer central agent they would not be in the know of
the article

Yep. And who's going to believe *you*, you illiterate, top posting idiot?

Well I admire your professionalism in the groups
But it does not matter, I stand by my answer on this.
we can see if Bob can resolve this. I gather he is a MVP and may have access
to resources you obviously do not.
