Installing Office XP

[CK]

I have recently purchased the student edition of Microst
Office XP to help with college. A few years ago I
purchased Office 2000 and was able to install and
register on my desktop at home and on my portable PC.
When I tried to repeat the same process with XP, I was
unable to register when I installed it on my desktop
after I installed it onto my notebook. Am I not allowed
to install the software twice on private PC's? Your help
is appreciated!

You need to call the 1-800# and get it activated that way. you might need
to tell them it is the education version. according to the license agreement
you are allowed to do what you want.

Q. Can I install my copy of Office XP on my home computer and my
laptop?

A. Yes. According to the End User License for Microsoft Software, you
can install and use your retail copy of Office XP on a single desktop
computer and on your laptop, for your exclusive use. However, this does not
apply to Office XP product licenses acquired with the purchase of a
computer. These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses are
single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another desktop computer
or laptop. To learn more about activation policies, visit the Microsoft
Product Activation page.
