Licensing question

Gregg Hill

Hello!

I think I know the answer to this one (no!), but I would like to confirm it.
At one point in time, I think Microsoft allowed Office to be installed on
two computers (a laptop and a desktop, for example) as long as both were not
in use at the same time. Does this hold true for Office 2003?

I have a user with two computers running and a KVM switch to switch between
the two. Technically, only one computer can be used at a time. Would that
allow installation of Office 2003 on both from one license, or do they need
two licenses?

The licensing is thus: -

A desktop and a portable (two systems of the same type would require two
licences - /unless/ the licence was for the STE which allows installation on
up to three systems in any combination), providing that

1) They aren't in simultaneous use

and

2) Are for the /exclusive/ use of the licencee.

So, if the laptop was going to be used exclusively by your wife, for
example, she would require her own licence.

David,

I am not sure, but I think you were trying to insult me. What makes you
think I would choose common sense or practicality over the law? If I were
not concerned with doing it legally, do you think I would have posted the
question in the first place?

Practicality can often be illegal...and the law supersedes common sense, as
you know all too well, being a lawyer.

Thanks for the links.
