The expression "Home Office" led me to assume you were a business user

I'm not a business user, but a retiree who uses two desktops and a laptop
at one location, and another desktop and the same laptop at the other
location. Does your suggested scenario still hold true? Is Office 2k
another name for Office 2007? Our licenses for the versions of Office we
now use were acquired in the following way: 1 OEM for a desktop, 2
Upgrades from Office 97, 1 purchased version of Office 2003. What is the
downside of using Open Office, as suggested by one responder? Thanks again
for your information, which is much appreciated.

Office2k is not licenced for for more than two PC's and then for use by
the same user (Desktop + Laptop)
Outlook Express is not part of Office, but a component of Win/IE

H&S is not Licenced for business use

Other Office 2007 versions are generally Licensed for a Desktop + Mobile
device for use by the same user ie you are not supposed to use both
versions at the same time
If you try to activate Office on more PC's than is allowed you wont be
able to
In your circumstances, as a business with seperate users, and 4 PC's, you
will require two versions of whichever Office version that is suitable
for your needs
You do qualify for an upgrade version

amazon is generally cheaper than purchasing direct from MS, and,
importantly, you get the dvd/cd media

I'm a Home Office user working with Office 2000. I use Excel, Word and
Outlook Express exclusively on 3 desktops and one laptop between myself
and my wife. We're coming across lots of users who have switched to
Office 2007, and find that there are lots of reasons to upgrade. Can
anyone suggest the best retail or mail order outlet to buy Office 2007
Home and Student from. Do I need a three seat license even if I use it
occasionally on the fourth PC? Any suggestions greatly apprecitated.
