May I install Publisher on our second computer as well?

[Seattle Tom]

We want to know if we are allowed by the EULA on the first installation of
Publisher to install it on a second computer at home? We now have a home
network and this would permit either of us to do work on either computer.
The EULA is a little vague on the issue of what a "backup" consists of?
Thanks for any help, the Hammonds

If one of those systems is a laptop, yes. If both are desktops, technically
no.

A backup merely consists of a copy of the CD in case the original should be
damaged.

You are permitted to install Publisher on one desktop and one portable
machine; the two installations are not to be used at the same time.
