    I bought a copy & I'm allowed to load it on 3 pcs.

    I got it discounted through work when I worked for the NHS.

    That deal finished a few weeks ago and you are now supposed to uninstall it as the HUP deal the NHS had wasn't renewed

    Mrs E should have uninstalled it when She left the NHS .. I won't tell will you . Microsoft are apparently sending out detector vans throughout the UK to see who's using unlicensed versions of office through their TV's. Paid for ergo it's hers, unless of course ..... ;)

    You can use the disk on as many computers as you like, but you can only use the licence key for the number of computers it is valid for (usually 1).

    It depends what version you have. Home & Student lets you install on 3 computers but the more expensive business versions are for a single computer.

    I think the MS Office licence allows you to install it on two computers (e.g. one desktop and a laptop). You can't use both copies simultaneously, and only the "primary user" of the desktop installation is allowed to use the second installation.
