any office version. That can install it on one computer and a
portable computer. It can not to be used at the same time
However, the xp student allows 3 computers. Home computer, School
computer, Laptop.
This was told to the posters by an msft.

Just because someone works for MS, doesn't make their word gospel. This
person should have checked their facts because, if that is what they said
and you haven't just misinterpreted, they're talking out their arse. The STE
version of Office XP is one licence *PER SYSTEM*. As I stated earlier, the
three system rule only applies to the STE of 2003 - *AND NO OTHER VERSION*.
It also doesn't specify how the three installations may be used - all three
computers could be at home - or at school, they could all be desktops or
they could all be laptops - it makes no difference.
It also doesn't apply to "any Office version" - the retail (not STE) may be
installed on one desktop and one laptop, provided the conditions I stated in
my earlier post are met. An OEM licence is tied to the computer it was first
installed on, and cannot be removed and installed on any other.
Don't repeat 'information' you have heard elsewhere without checking it
first - whether the person works for MS or not. Someone who works in the
Windows dept probably doesn't have a clue what the licensing is for Office
and vice versa.
Please don't post unless you are 100% sure of the facts and have double
checked them first. What you have posted is completely false.
