It doesn't matter what name you use, the license is to *one person* who can
install on both a desktop & laptop. That *person* can run the software on
one of those systems at a time. If the systems are networked the first copy
launched prevents the second installation from launching - the same person
can't be using Office on separate networked systems simultaneously.
What you want to do is have 2 separate users work on 2 different systems at
the same time which requires 2 licensed copies. IOW, the flaw in your
assumption is that the license applies to "my husband and I" - it applies to
either your husband *or* you:-)

I read the license agreement below and assumed that my husband and I could use
our copy of Office for Mac on two computers in our home office - one a main
computer and the other a portable. I guess the mistake we made is that on the
first computer it was loaded on (a few years ago), my husband did the set-up
and used his name as the primary user and then on our new Mac laptop, I was
doing the set-up and used my name as the primary user, never thinking that
this would make a difference. It's extra frustrating because I spent a lot of
time installing the software on the new laptop (extra time to install all the
updates) and it went through without a hitch. It wasn't until I tried to open
a document in the program that I received an error message. Why wouldn't I
have received this error message at the very beginning of the installation?
Is there a way to solve this or is Microsoft so rigid that they won't allow
the software to be used on two computers in the same business, if different
user names are used?
If the new laptop is already set up with my User Name is there a way to change
it ? OR is there a way to change the User Name on the first computer to my
name from my husband's name, so that we can use this software on both
computers? Thanks.
"Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition Includes one product key.
The license terms for Office allow you to install your licensed copy of Office
on a single computer. The license terms also allow you, as the primary user of
that computer, to install a second copy on your portable computer, such as a
laptop, for your own personal use."
