2007 Home and Student licenses
I am considering purchasing a copy of Office 2007 Home and Student. I know I
am allowed to install it on three devices, but I am wondering about XP's fast user switching. Will multiple users logged into on one machine at the same time count against multiple licenses? My instinct tells me it'll count as one device and one license, but I don't want to buy it and run out of licenses due to multiple activations by each user. Thanks in advance! |

You activate it per machine and not per user.
Note that Home and Student doesn't contain Outlook (and then notice the newsgroup you are posting in ;-)) -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Matt Anderson" Matt wrote in message ...

Thanks for the quick response. Regarding the newsgroup, I misread it. I
thought this was "Office Install and Setup". "Roady [MVP]" wrote: You activate it per machine and not per user.
