Office Activation, Licensing of Office, Visio, on MultiBoot System

R

Robert Somrak

The EULA, by reading, permits the owner of Office to install it on the main
pc and a laptop.

I am exploring developing multi-boot machines - for example setting up a
computer with a HotSwap Drive and installing Server on one drive, and XP Pro
or Longhorn or Media Center Edition on a second hard drive. Office would be
installed to a separate (r:raid) drive. Therefore at any given time only one
operating system would be active and visible to the system - and the bulk
office installation on R:raid would be visisble and availabe to operating
system selected at the time.

The activation process would see primarily the same the same hardware - with
only one hard drive changing when the different OS booted.

Question - my interpretation of the EULA is that one license could be
installed on any two of the operating systems - an would have to be activated
on each OS eventhough the installation drive was identical? Secondly - the
installation of Office on the third drive (OS) is beyond the legal uses of a
single license?

thanks
