2nd computer

[Patricia]

I have 2 computers in 2 locations. I do most work on the
one with Pub 2003 but do bulk printing in 2nd location
which has Pub 2000. When I save Pub 2003 as 2000, there
is always a lot of work to change everything that moves
or disappears. What can I do to install Pub 2003 on 2nd
computer without buying whole new program?

On the system that items disappear, try upgrading your video drivers. Also,
load the printer drivers you use to do your bulk printing on the computer
with Pub 2000. Those two things should help.

Patricia,

Not that I want to promote piracy, but I would put the second computer
on your lap, install 2003 and call MS to activate it, tell them it is a
laptop.

Thank you, I will try that. Is it piracy for an
individual to use the program they paid for ... many of
us have more than one computer and not necessarily a
laptop.

**Technically**, by law, it must be a *mobile* computer and desktop. But I
look at it as if I am the only user, and I am not using them at the same
time, it's pretty much the same thing, except that one computer might be a
smidgen smaller than the other

That's an issue you'll have to take up with Microsoft. According to them,
yes, it is piracy.

Accoring to the EULA in Pub 2003, you may:
(a) install and use a copy of the Software on one personal computer or other
device; and
(b) install an additional copy of the Software on a second, portable device
for the exclusive use of the primary user of the first copy of the Software.

As for you owning two desktops, that *is* covered:
1.3 License Grant for Remote Desktop. You may use remote access
technologies, such as the Remote Desktop features in Microsoft Windows or
NetMeeting, to access and use your licensed copy of the Software, provided
that only the primary user of the device hosting the remote desktop session
accesses and uses the Software with a remote access device. These remote
desktop rights do not permit you to use the Software on both the device
hosting the remote desktop session and the access device at the same time.

(Not my words - Microsoft's.)

You could try arguing that since you are capable of moving your desktop unit
that makes it mobile. My desktop is bulky but I've moved it into several
different rooms of my home. It's my 19" CRT monitor that isn't so *mobile*.
