Putting Office on more than one computer....

B

Brigitt

I've heard about licenses, but I'm not sure how it works exactly. I just
bought Office Professional 2007 for my office- We have 7 or 8 computers.

Can anyone help me out?

Unless you buy a volume license you can only install on a single PC
A home user could install, depending on exact version, on a desktop and
Laptop for their own use

Check the license agreement that came with that copy of Office. As a general
principle, the rule for all off-the-shelf versions of Office--except for the
home & student version--is one license per user. This means, for example,
that Brigitt Officeworker could put a copy on her desktop and a copy on her
laptop. It does not mean that Brigitt Officeworker and Dave Desktop could
share that copy of Office. I'm talking about what's permitted under the
license, mind you... not what you might or might not be able to do.

I've never investigated multi-license versions, so I don't know about
pricing. But, if you have 7 or 8 distinct users, then a multi-license
version might be the most economical approach.

Could I put the same copy of Office 2007 on my home desktop, my laptop, and
another laptop that I use as a backup? And if I have Office Home/Student
Office on one already can I overwrite Office Professional and then retrieve
the license of the home/student version to put on another laptop? (All are
mine, not used by anyone else)....Joel

Not quite sure what you are wanting to do...
but here goes. No Retail version of Office may be installed on more than two
machines EXCEPT Home and Student version which may be installed on THREE
machines at any one time.
