Harry P.

I just recently installed Office 2003 Professional on my desktop. I'm
getting a laptop shortly. Can I put it on there as well, does it need any
online authorization or activation or anything like that?

Hi Harry,

If it's an OEM copy of Office 2003 then you're limited to the
computer it was sold on. Otherwise, yes, you can install then
activate on a desktop and laptop computer used by the same person.

Q. How many times can I install Office 2003 Editions?

A. You can install one copy of Office Professional Edition 2003, Office
Small Business Edition 2003, and Office Standard Edition 2003 on your main
computer and another on your laptop computer for your exclusive, but
non-concurrent use. To install a version of these Office 2003 Editions on
more than these two computers, you must obtain another license for the
program. You can install Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 on up to
three computers in your household if a household member is qualified. You
can work with Office 2003 Editions at your desk and when mobile.

Note: Licenses for the 2003 release of Office acquired preinstalled on new
computers are single-computer licenses that cannot be transferred or
installed on another computer.

Q. Does Microsoft require product activation for Office 2003 Editions?

A. Yes. You need to activate the software by providing your country/region
