Number of Installations

[asmac89]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

I bought a Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 and it has three product keys. Does this mean it can be installed on three different Macs? If not, how many times can it be installed?

Thank you.

I'll refer you to the End User License Agreement (EULA) that pertains to the
Home & Student Edition you purchased for the exact details but this is the
general gist of answers to your questions;

Each Product Key represents a separate license to use Office 2008.

Each license entitles you to install on 1 "desktop" + 1 "portable" Mac. The
restriction is that you are not permitted to use any of the Office programs
on more than 1 of the 2 systems at the same time. If both Macs are on the
same network you will be physically prevented from launching an Office
program on the second Mac if any Office program is running on the other.

In total, the 3 licenses (Product Keys) enable you to install on 6 separate
Macs... Theoretically that means 2 Macs for each of 3 users or individuals.
