Determining number of uses

I have Office Pro 2003 which I purchased separately & have used it on a
couple home computers (since you can use it on up to 5). I am not sure if I
used it on 4 or 5. One computer is now out of service so if possible it could
be removed from that one and the usage reused on another. Is there a way to
tell how many times I have used it? I need to send the software to my
daughter who is in college and want to be sure there is a license remaining
before I do so.

Office Professional allows installation on 2 computers, one desktop and one
portable. Where did you get the idea you can use it on 5?

For exact details, read the EULA available from any Office Program Help
menu.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different version but I believe it states on
Microsoft website that you can use for home use on up to 5 computers. I would
have to look again but I think I saw that earlier tonight & I could have
sworn that we used this on more than just the 2 computers but maybe I need to
look at the other computers again & see if they already had Office from a
different source. Obviously since it is 2003 it is a few years ago & I could
be losing it but I didn't think I was quite yet.

No such info on MS site re 5 installations, the only mention of 5
installations is with regard Volume Licensing.

The only version of Office that allows for more than 2 installations (3 to
be exact) is the Student version of Office, either Student and Teachers'
Edition for and 2003, or Home and Student for 2007.
