CD Key is for how many PC's?

M

MrBill

I have Office 2003 Standard Ed. which I installed and activated on one
PC with no problem. I decided to install it temporarily on a 2nd PC
(on the same network) and use it as an limited unactivated program
until I purchased another copy of the program. But just for the heck
of it I tried to activate it and it worked! I thought the license for
this software was for 1 PC only, but obviously I was wrong. So out of
curiosity, how many PC's can I install this software?

Thanks, Bill
