Licensing question

Miss Tick,

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

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
That what I said duh

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)

In windows xp & windows xp pro you can have user accounts.
In a sense your are saying I could not let anyone use any program on
my own computer. That is the stupidest thing I even heard of. No
one has the right to tell me I can not share the use of the program.
If some person came over and asked to use my computer. That’s my
choice and no eula is going to tell me otherwise period. If people
followed the eula, They would have to turn off the virus scanner,
when someone else is using my computer. Actual no one follows the
eula including ms. Otherwise there would not have user accounts.
b) They are not in use simultaneously.
Duh thats what I said.
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.

Your one to talk. I saw you debating with Mvp, and Microsoft Mike in
the xp general newsgroup

I was talking about retail office in my last post.

I removed the students edition from my last post.
However, Since you gave me the link, here is the copy of part of the
faq.


Licensing and Compatibility

Q. How many activations/installations will be allowed for each
license of the Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003?

A. You can install Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 on up to
three computers in your home without having to buy extra licenses. Get
software for the entire family and save money.

Hi, Greg R. According to
http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/students/faq.mspx, "Office
XP Standard for Students and Teachers could only be installed on one computer
in your household." What is the source of your information?
