If you are talking about converting a trial version of Office 2007, that can only be converted and activated on ONE computer and it is the one that it is installed on. To be able to install on more than one computer you need to purchase a retail version of the software. OEM and MLK versions are one computer and the original computer only. |

Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on three licensed devices in your household for use by people who reside there. The software is not licensed for use in any commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating business activities.

Purchased laptop w/ preinstall software MS Office (Home and St
Unfortunately no. And unfortunately Microsoft (MS) doesn't identify, IMHO,
the different license types available to people and the benefit of purchasing retail rather than purchasing via the activation of the trial software on one system. I really wish that MS would stop pushing the installation of the trial software on new computers. It is an issue that many have had problems with and is a great source of posts on this newsgroup and others related to Office. "enoob57" wrote in message ... These options were of same cost?
