Re: Office 2007 upgrade from Office 2000 - Licensing 2 or 3

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Nope, "*Licensed for noncommercial use on up to three personal computers." the "*" means it is the language used for the Home and Student Version, you can download and read the Use terms for the Profesional version here.

In other words, you get to install on a Primary device, and a portable device for the exclusive use by the User of the primary device.

My family just gave me Office Professional 2007 **Upgrade** (they bought it at Sam's Club for $286) for my birthday last night. A couple or more of you folks believed it licensed for only 2 computers. On the back of this packaging/last page of the back cardboard at the bottom in small print it says:

"*Licensed for noncommercial use on up to three personal computers."

Soooo I am right, aren't I, to assume this package will allow me to install it on my 3 computers - desktop, regular laptop and a mini laptop?

TIA.

Depending on your actual Office 2007 components required Office 2007 H&S allows for your number of installations, but not the Pro version

I'm running MS Office Professional 2000 - not OEM - on desktop and 2 laptops. I want to upgrade to MS Office Professional 2007. Does an Upgrade version of MS Office Pro 2007 license allow installation of 1 desktop and 2 laptops? One of the laptops is of a large size, while the 2nd laptop is relatively small for easy carrying on research trips. I have scanned through many posted licensing queries on this board only to find what appears to be conflicting info on the number of installs allowed.

1. Can I definitely get an upgrade for 2000 to 2007?
2. Can it be installed on 1 desktop and 2 laptops?

TIA.
