Hi Jamie,
Thank you for the quick response.
Sometimes the Microsoft end user license
agreement (EULA) allows customers who are the primary user of Microsoft
applications such as Office and Word to install one additional copy on
their laptop computer for their exclusive use. This does not apply to
product licenses acquired with the purchase of a PC. These OEM licenses are
single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another PC.
All customers who purchase retail
packaged products or a new PC from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
will be required to activate the software. The software on a new PC from an
OEM may be activated in the factory.
Product Activation works by validating that the software's product key,
required as part of product installation, has not been used on more PCs
than is allowed by the software's end user license agreement (EULA). In
general, Office 2003 or Office XP can be installed on one PC and the laptop
computer used by the user of the one PC. Product key information, in the
form of the product ID, is sent along with a "hardware hash" (a non-unique
number generated from the PC's hardware configuration) to Microsoft's
activation system during activation.
You will have the choice of activating via the Internet or by telephone.
You can also will also be able to delay activation for several uses of the
product, until a time that is convenient for them.
Jamie, for further information, i would recommend you to contact your OEM,
they might have a workaround where u can install Office XP in more than one
system.
Please let me has this helped you...
Thank You...
