Are you sure they don't allow two computers with an Student office xp?
I am not talking about the office xp operating system.

I keep forgetting that Microsoft has office oems. I just keep
thinking that office is retail & student only.

I post what I think is correct period

No not completely.
Repeating any retail not student version of office can be installed on
two computers at the same time. But cannot be used at the same time.
Some Students office version may be able to be installed on two to
three computers.
