Determining number of uses Les 10/31/2008 5:04:00 AM I have Office Pro 2003 which I purchased separately & have used it on a couple home computers (since you can use it on up to 5). I am not sure if I used it on 4 or 5. One computer is now out of service so if possible it could be removed from that one and the usage reused on another. Is there a way to tell how many times I have used it? I need to send the software to my daughter who is in college and want to be sure there is a license remaining before I do so.

Re: Determining number of uses "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" <what[ at ]ever> 10/31/2008 5:39:36 AM Office Professional allows installation on 2 computers, one desktop and one portable. Where did you get the idea you can use it on 5? For exact details, read the EULA available from any Office Program Help menu. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Re: Determining number of uses Les 10/31/2008 6:53:00 AM Maybe I'm thinking of a different version but I believe it states on Microsoft website that you can use for home use on up to 5 computers. I would have to look again but I think I saw that earlier tonight & I could have sworn that we used this on more than just the 2 computers but maybe I need to look at the other computers again & see if they already had Office from a different source. Obviously since it is 2003 it is a few years ago & I could be losing it but I didn't think I was quite yet. :) "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Office Professional allows installation on 2 computers, one desktop and one > portable.

Re: Determining number of uses "DL" <address[ at ]invalid> 10/31/2008 9:52:48 AM No such info on MS site re 5 installations, the only mention of 5 installations is with regard Volume Licensing.
