office 2003 license?

[Eric H.]

My room mate bought office 2003 pro at the campus bookstore. Is it possible for me to install it as well, or is it like XP?

thanks

I believe you can install Office 2003 on one desktop AND one laptop but not 2 of either one.

No you cannot install Office 2003 in that situation.
From the EULA: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...lient_eula.pdf

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA: 1.1 Installation and use. You may: (a) install and use a copy of the Software on one personal computer or other device; and (b) install an additional copy of the Software on a second, portable device for the exclusive use of the primary user of the first copy of the Software.

So unless you are borrowing his computer to use his Office, then no you cannot legally install it.

Ah, single user. Thanx, Statica.

You can be sure that Microsoft doesn't allow anything to be shared!

Sure they do, you just have to buy the right thing, the academic office pro 2003 Retail version - available from newegg for 162.00 can be installed on three machines in the same family

"You can install this product on up to three computers or devices in your household."
