OL 2007 cost

[wOoZ]

Hello,

I have 2 laptops at home I'd like to run OL 2007 on. For the life of me I
can't find out if I have to buy 1 or 2 disks.

(OT-it's not so clear for Vista either, just a 'family' discount if you buy
Ultimate, I assume full cost per PC?)

Thanks,
Wooz

If you are the only (or main) user of both computers and can reasonably
expect to only use computer one at a time, you meet the requirements for
portable use and need 1 copy as the key will activate 2 times. If the
computers are yours and someone elses, 2... that doesn't meet the
portability clause in the EULA.

note that the home and student versions (which do not include outlook) allow
installs on 3 computers, without the same 'portability' clause as is in
other office programs or suites.

Operating systems never had a portability clause - so you'll need two vista
licenses or the family pack.
