Office 2007. One copy on multiple computers.

Oh, now I think I understand. OEM means a version that comes preinstalled on
a purchased computer, right?
\
OEM means one install on one computer and never on any other computer.
It also means that the vendor that sells you the copy has to support it
and not microsoft - that's why OEM sells cheaper.

"OEM" stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer", FYI. So it means a copy
installed and support (as Leythos said) by the manufacturer.

I have a question. I have office 2007 with business manager via upgrade from
retail and had it installed working great on my laptop. I then received a new
laptop with vista so i loaded my office upgrade 2007 on it and did the
internet activation. However, in the title bar it says "non-commerical use"
on the new laptop but not on the old one. I was still using the one on the
previous laptop until i was able to migrate my outlook data out. The problem
i am having now on the new one with the "non-commercial use" in the title bar
is that it will not let me send/receive except of the very first try after
rebooting. I suspect this is tied to the fact that it thinks it is installed
on 2 laptops. How do I resolve this? I will stop using it on my old laptop
once I am up and running on the new one.

Also, i am new to vista. I can see the personal.psx file on my xp (old pc)
but I cannot see how to view the hidden/system files and folders in vista so
i can copy the outlook file over to migrate my data. Any tips on this as well?

thank you..

installed on one desktop and one laptop both owned by you. Office 2007
Home and Student can be installed on up to three computers in the same
household, subject to the limitation that the software cannot be used
for any commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating business
activities.

What's the policy for Office? Can I install one upgrade on more than one
computer - how many?

Thanks

Yes, we got all that first time round
