I have 2 pcs but only one copy of office xp pro (acedemic version). Is there
any way I can install this on both computers?

An academic licence is subject to the same EULA as a retail product. That is
one licence may be installed on two systems on the proviso that

1) They are different (i.e. one desktop and one laptop/portable)
2) They are for the *exclusive* use of the primary licencee
3) They will not be in simultaneous use.

If both systems are of the same type then, no, you may not. You would
require a licence for each system.

Actually it's quite a different EULA.

Here's the EULA for the Students and Teachers edition of Office 2003,
AFAIK Office XP is similar, can anyone confirm that?

1.1 ..... You may install a copy of the Software on three personal
computers...

Next time, David, I suggest you do two things before posting: -

1) Actually *read* the original question

and

2) Do your research before posting.

The STE is *not* (I repeat *NOT*) an academic licence. Academic licences are
ordinary retail licences available from university bookshops, at vastly
reduced prices and they are subject to the same restrictions as a retail
licence. The STE is available as Office Standard only (Academic licences can
be either Standard or Pro) and is available from everywhere Office is sold.

How you thought that Office 2003 Pro and Office 2003 Standard were one and
the same is beyond me.

If you're the best MS could do for an MVP then they must be getting *really*
desperate...

So, as I correctly stated earlier, an Academic licence is subject to the
same restrictions as a retail licence...

You don't even state what your MVP field is. if it's Office, then you should
be stripped of the title here and now.
