Sharing Office 2007
Hi. I have two laptops at home. I usually use both, but sometimes my wife
uses one. I'd like to have Office 2007 installed on both, but cannot justify the expense. Is it legal to have it installed on both with one license? Thanks.

Yes. The retail version is normally licensed for two systems; H&S for 3
systems; VLK on ## numbers of systems while hackers version is licensed to be used on infinite number of systems. A Microsoft Pig (or its sympathizers) will tell you that an OEM version cannot be installed on any systems other than it came with but I buy OEM versions and I install it on any systems I like! hth crowbraid wrote: Hi.

Is it legal to have it installed on both with one license? Thanks. Totally depends on the license and the use of the Office suite. Retail license says one primary device and one portable device for the exclusive use of the primary user of the primary device (so that is two computers but basically one operator on the second computer.) This version (Pro, Small Business, Standard or Ultimate depending on your program requirements) may suffice for your use as you would be the primary user on both machines and the wife would be the sometime user for one computer. This link gives what programs are within each suite http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...464411033.aspx. Search for best prices but generally Amazon.com has excellent prices. Purchase only from reputable sources and eBay is not a reputable source for software. Home and Student says three computers within the same household but not for commercial use. OEM says on one computer only and the license dies with the computer.
