If I buy an unopened, unregistered Office Profession 2000 Academic version on
Ebay - can I register it and get updates? I'm not sure what Academic means?
Thanks!

Acadenic versions are generally priced for students and are single use only
that is you can't upgrade to newer versions.

It is my understanding that you can get version specific updates but can't
upgrade to newer versions with an academic copy. Has that changed?

So this means that I cannot put this on more than one computer? And if I
bought Office 2003 or 2007 upgrade it won't work with the Academic program -
is that correct?
thanks!

Correct. It's a once and done deal. And if you aren't a student, you aren't
supposed to install it.

OK, thank you so much!
What am I looking for then, if I would like to be able to upgrade it? And
put it on my laptop and desktop computer?

Full retail. No upgrades, no student editions, no academic editions, no
OEMs.
