Microsoft Office 2007 licences

[mybrainhurts]

It's time to upgrade my MS Office, 1901 version....

What's Microsoft's policy regarding licences?

Does one copy = one licence, or can I stick it on my laptop as well...?

Google's no friggin' help...

I thought you could put it on 3 home PC's?

Some of the Home & Student versions say 3 users on the box, but I've not seen that on other versions.

That's what got me scratching my head...

IIRC - you can install a copy on 2 machines - if and only if only 1 of those machines will be used at any one time.

But you'd need to check that statement - so please don't assume it is correct.

Edited to add....

Unless it's OEM supplied, in which case you can use it only on the supplied machine....bummer

Nto specifically two machines, it's your main PC and a portable device from memory of my MS license training.

Correct - but his laptop is his portable device. The key point is that only one copy is used at any one time.

MS EULA section 3a said:

No other person may use the software under the same license at the same time for any other purpose.
