microsoft office installing on 2 pc's?

jazzy

I purchased a Microsoft office 2003 full package around 18 months ago, £300+! I installed this on my desktop pc. I am now purchasing a laptop, so can I install this same software on my laptop legally?

I thought that I read that the license covers installation on a desktop and laptop owned by the original licensee of the package?

Yep that's right in general as long as you don't use it at the same time, you can have it on your desktop and laptop (but only yours not someone elses).

Q How many times can I install Office 2003 Editions?

A. You can install one copy of Office Professional Edition 2003, Office Small Business Edition 2003 and Office Standard Edition 2003 on your main computer and another on your laptop computer for your exclusive, but non-concurrent use. To install a version of these Office 2003 Editions on more than these two computers, you must obtain another licence for the program. You can install Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 on up to three computers in your household if a household member is qualified. You can work with Office 2003 Editions at your desk and when mobile. Note Licences for the 2003 release of Office acquired pre-installed on new computers are single-computer licences that cannot be transferred or installed on another computer.
