Activation

I have Office XP and I just bought the new Dell Axim.
The Axim came with Outlook 2002 and I installed it on my
desktop. After activing the software from my desktop, I
tried installing it on my laptop and activating. It
won't activate because it has already been activated by
my desktop. What should I do. It says that the software
will run roughly thirty or more times before it will go
down to reduce mode. HELP!!

Why are you installing the Axim software when you have Office XP? They are
the same versions.

Milly asks a good question. If you bought Office XP retail (i.e., it did
not come preinstalled on your PC), the EULA allows you to install it (or any
part of it, like Outlook) on a desktop and a laptop. Outlook 2002 on the
Dell Axim companion CD, however, is an OEM version and consequently can be
installed on a single computer only.
