Re: Imaging software is in Office 2003 pro. vs. Office 97 Compare?

Thanks Bob I,

Now that I've gotten past my embarrasment ... another question. I want to
install my Office Pro in 2 desktops ... one will be taken down for a period
of time and become my main unit later. The other is new unit bought as a
back-up. Is there an option during the set-up sequence that allows me to
purchase a license extension (or a number to call to do this) to allow me to
do what I've described?

ps. I'm also a retired community college teacher, but I did not buy Office
Pro at an academic outlet. Any way this allows me to do the two installs
within the eula?
