How many personal computers I can install MS Office 2007 on?

I just bought a copy of Office Professional 2007 upgrade version. I have two
desktops and a laptop in the house. Am I able to install and activate it on
all three computers?

No. Even if you have a retail version, not an OEM, you cannot install Office
Pro on three computers. Read the Microsoft Software License Terms to get the
specifics. Generally, a retail version says:

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a
license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the
“licensed device.†A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a
separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install and use one copy of the software on the
licensed device.
b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable device for
use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
c. Separation of Components. The components of the software are licensed as
a single unit. You may not separate the components and install them on
different devices.


Key words - "single primary user of the licensed device".
