As I read the EULA for the various MS Office 2003
products on http://www.microsoft.com/office/eula, I am
allowed to install and use the product on a /single/ PC
but may and also install it on my laptop, provided that
I don't have a second person using the laptop while I'm
using my desktop.
Is that how I should interpret the EULA?
And, I assume MS Office (all varients) use product
activation to enforce the license and presumeably the
Eula. Is that also correct? So, does Office "call home"
while I'm using it on one of my two eligible PCs and
cross-reference and prevent attempted simulaneous use on
the other PC?
The reason for this question is /not/ to find a way to
skirt the EULA, but to guarantee before I stroke the big
bucks this product costs that I'll be able to always use
it regardless of which PC /I/ am on, and without being
worrying about disadvantaged by some validation
procedure.
Thanks.
