Thanks for the confirmation. What an utterly ridiculous

You can install one copy of Student and Teacher on up to three
computers. Read it here on the FAQ's:

WRONG!! *Do* read the question properly before answering, dear; it makes you
look less of an idiot. He asked about Office *XP*, you gave him a link
regarding *2003* - how on earth is that helpful?!
XP can be installed on *ONE* system at a time. 2003 was the first version
with a multiple system licence.

Nothing to do with MS - it's not their problem if you completely failed to
read the EULA, now is it?!

Question:
"Does anyone know how many computers I may legally install

My answer:
Office XP for Students and Teachers can be installed on up to 3
computers. Looking at my booklet right now and it says Microsoft
OfficeXP for Students and Teachers. Unless he wrote the question
wrong, I did give him the correct answer and link.
He did not mention if he had 2002 or 2003 but since 2003 is the
current version that was the link I supplied.
Microsoft XP (the operating system) can only be installed on one
computer with activation but he asked about OfficeXP, dear!

Jake, do you have the commercial or the personal Office for Student
and Teachers? One is called Office for Student and Teachers and one
is Office XP for Student and Teachers (I think). I didn't realize
there were two with a similar name. Mine is the version that allows
you to activate on 3 computers. If yours doesn't you might be able to
sell it and get the other version.

Jake, Epona apparently is an obnoxious jerk. Ignore her/him. Read my
other post about Office for Student and Teachers. Maybe you can work
it out.
of a LOT of other newsgroups out there, it's a very popular sentiment!
And, don't you find it ironic that the policy is different for Office
2003 as you so perceptively (and arrogantly) point out?? Now, explain
that please. And, do try to respond less contemptuously, dear; it
makes you look less of an idiot.

Yes, that is still Microsoft's problem I believe. And, by the soundsEpona, what does reading the license agreement have to do with the fact that I am disgusted with Microsoft's policy of limiting a legitimately purchased program to just one of my own PCs? Maybe I was or maybe I wasn't aware of the policy when I orginally bought it and installed it on my son's first computer. The fact is, I still feel it is unreasonable that I cannot install it on his second computer now.

Hi Sherrie
My package says Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers, and the license agreement definitely says for only one computer. I even confirmed that with Microsoft over the phone. Too bad. But, thank you for your suppport (as well as the kind and polite responses

Pardon me for jumping in, but when did you acquire your copy of XP STE? If
it was acquired between August 15 and November 30, 2003, you may qualify for
the Technology Guarantee which allows you to upgrade to the 2003 version for
cost of shipping and handling. I am not sure when the offer ends in your
locale, but you can look here for more information:

You have 2003, he has XP....there is no 'other version'. Yours is a newer
version to his with a different EULA. There have been STE licences for every
Office I can recall.
Still spouting drivel, I see...There is no such thing as a 'commercial'
licence for the STE - I explained why you could activate yours on three
systems - you have *2003* - Jake has *XP* - the former allows three
activations, the latter one.
Is that any clearer for you, or would you like it with pictures?!

Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]
No, one correction. There have only been 2 editions of Office for Students
and Teachers, XP and 2003. Prior versions (as well as the XP and 2003) have
always been available under an Academic License, which is quite different
from the Students and Teachers editions added with Office XP.

Do get your facts straight before posting, darling...makes you look a little
less moronic. The Student and Teachers Edition of *OFFICE XP* can only be
installed on *one* system at a time. This is an *OFFICE* group, I don't give
a fig about Windows.
THE OFFICE XP STUDENT AND TEACHERS LICENCE IS VALID FOR ONE SYSTEM ONLY.
THE OFFICE 2003 STUDENT AND TEACHERS LICENCE IS VALID FOR THREE.
Now, is that clear enough for you?!
Geez, it's like pulling teeth!

Thanks for clearing that up Milly. Since I haven't had anything
except the STE 2003 I didn't know the other one was different. I
didn't realize there was another one. When my instructor emailed me
and told me what software to get she said Office XP 2003 Student and
Teacher and told me where to get it. That was the only version I knew
about. When I went back to Microsoft's website (after Epona's temper
tantrum) and looked it up again I saw in the FAQ's that it mentioned
Office XP for Students and Teachers and one called Office for Students
and Teachers because one question in the FAQ's asked if you could
upgrade to Office for Students and Teachers 2003 from Office XP for
Students and Teachers. It said no. My assumption at that time was
that since it said Office STE 2003 was for non-commercial use that the
other one might have been for commercial (school license) use. I was
mistaken about that but I KNEW that mine allowed three legal
activations.
