Licensing question

[Greg R]

Miss Tick,

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.

Are you sure they don't allow two computers with an Student office xp?
I am not talking about the office xp operating system.

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.

I keep forgetting that Microsoft has office oems. I just keep
thinking that office is retail & student only.

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.

I post want I think is correct period

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.

No not completely.
Repeating any retail not student version of office can be installed on
two computers at the same time. But cannot be used at the same time.
Some Students office version may be able to be installed on two to
three computers.

Erm, Office XP isn't an operating system - it's an, erm, office suite. And
yes, I am 1,000% positive.

I keep forgetting that Microsoft has office oems. I just keep
thinking that office is retail & student only.

And what do you call a version of Office sold with a system, then?

I post want I think is correct period

Sorry, but you don't - you post what you *know* is correct. Otherwise you
just end up misleading people.

No not completely.

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong had you just won first prize in a
being totally and utterly wrong contest.

Repeating any retail not student version of office can be installed on
two computers at the same time.

And you're *STILL* posting misinformation.

Let me repeat myself for the hard of thinking

1) The Students and Teachers Edition of Office XP is a one licence per
system deal

2) The Students and Teacher Edition of Office 2003 is a three licence
deal and may be installed on any three systems, in any combination the user
desires.

3) Retail versions of Office may be installed on one desktop and one
laptop (and this distinction is important as two systems of the same type
require two separate licences) providing that

a) It is for the sole use of the licencee (IOW, if you bought a laptop
and your wife was the sole user, then she would require her own licence)

b) They are not in use simultaneously.

If that hasn't penetrated your cranium then I give up. I am not going to
repeat myself again. Maybe Bob or Milly has more patience - mine has just
expired.

two computers at the same time.

And you're *STILL* posting misinformation.

Let me repeat myself for the hard of thinking

1) The Students and Teachers Edition of Office XP is a one licence per
system deal

2) The Students and Teacher Edition of Office 2003 is a three licence
deal and may be installed on any three systems, in any combination the user
desires.

3) Retail versions of Office may be installed on one desktop and one
laptop (and this distinction is important as two systems of the same type
require two separate licences) providing that

a) It is for the sole use of the licencee (IOW, if you bought a laptop
and your wife was the sole user, then she would require her own licence)

b) They are not in use simultaneously.

If that hasn't penetrated your cranium then I give up. I am not going to
repeat myself again. Maybe Bob or Milly has more patience - mine has just
expired.

Miss Tick,
Are you sure they don't allow two computers with an Student office xp?
I am not talking about the office xp operating system.

Erm, Office XP isn't an operating system - it's an, erm, office suite. And
yes, I am 1,000% positive.

I keep forgetting that Microsoft has office oems. I just keep
thinking that office is retail & student only.

And what do you call a version of Office sold with a system, then?

I post want I think is correct period

Sorry, but you don't - you post what you *know* is correct. Otherwise you
just end up misleading people.

No not completely.

Sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong had you just won first prize in a
being totally and utterly wrong contest.

Repeating any retail not student version of office can be installed on
two computers at the same time.
