Re: 229.00 disk is it one time use "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/20/2008 12:02:17 AM Exactly which edition of Word/Office is this? If it's Home and Student, you can install it on several computers. If it's Standard or above, you can install it on one desktop and one laptop. If it's an OEM version (came installed on the machine), it's licensed only for that system. If it's part of an Enterprise package at work, your employer may have a license that allows employees to use it at home. -- Suzanne S.

Re: 229.00 disk is it one time use lawton 12/20/2008 6:00:01 AM Thank you, I was thinking of getting Word 2007 $229.00 from Office Depot or online from Microsoft directly (I do have the old one that came on my laptop but I do not have it on the puter at work. But I work on my laptop at home and want them to be the same program so I want to be able to load it on both. "Suzanne S.

What the EULA states (in its extremely long-winded way) is that you can install it on a desktop and a laptop providing only one is used at any time. So if you are away from your office using Word 2007 on your laptop, no one else should be using the other copy on the desktop at work. However, if you are only concerned about compatibility, you can download the free Office 2007 compatibility pack and install it on your desktop at work. This will let your work computer open and save the Word 2007 file format and will get all the new fonts that come with Word 2007. Obviously, if you use any of the features that are exclusive to Word 2007, the work computer will not see them, so it isn't 100% compatibility. However, if you documents are going to passed to anyone else without Word 2007, you should probably avoid using those features anyway. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "lawton" <lawton[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2F29010F-5F34-4C51-8A0A-3C27B8CA3940[ at ]microsoft.com...
