Yes, you can buy another license but it's costly.
Look around here for information on getting an additional license:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/default.mspx

I'm wondering if you would consider a different version, such as OfficeXP or
Office97? They're available discounted from various sources and you'd save a
bit of money. Also, you might investigate OpenOffice at
http:\\www.openoffice.org, it's free and will open almost all MS Office
applications.

If you need Office 2003 then you need to do some websearching for the best
price. Google is always good but if I'm looking for best price I like
http://www.search.com because they'll bring up sponsored links to comparison
shopping sites.
