My name is JoAnn, not Joanne. And I don't think anyone asking a question is dodgy nor have I ever said so.

Just ignore Joanne Paules. She has lost her marbles. To her anybody asking a question here is dodgy and he/she is using dodgy microsoft product. She is on record to say in such terms on these newsgroups.

JoAnn,
Is that true if the install is the only instance for the package? Home and Student has a different feature set, not different installation conditions.
If a person can do what they do with the Home & Student Edition, MSoft does not care, do they? What gets Bill & The Boys all knotted up is when the same package is installed multiple times, they don't really care what package is installed for a particular User Application.
TO THE OP
Home & Student has a differennt mix of applications than Small Business Edition. If your Mom can get her stuff done with Home & Student, then it is fine for her to carry it on her laptop. The problem is that there are multiple installs of a product that is supposed to be installed only once.
You need to read the End User License Agreement (EULA) to ascertain whether the package can be installed on two machines owned by the same person. (This was allowable once upon a time, I can't say that it is still allowed or not.) The idea is that a perosn might have a machine at home and a machine they carry -- a laptop, for example. This person would not reasonably use both machines at the same time, nor would one person be on one machine while another person was on the other machine, so while the package was installed twice, it was only used once at any given time. In such a scenario, your Mom would have a computer in her office at home and her laptop. She would go into the field with the laptop and perform some task(s), then come home and load the files she created onto her computer in the office and do more work on the same files. Or even make different files.
The rub comes when she is in the field and you are in her office, and both are using the Office Suite that MSoft reasonably wants both of you to have paid for.
The clear violation of the EULA would be for you or your Mom to have purchased Home & Student, and then installed it on your machine, her machine, your brother's machine, your uncle's machine, the machine of three of your neighbors, and so on.

That would be against the license. Even if it's volunteer work, it's not allowed.

My mom works as a the treasurer for a local ambulance and she goes to a lot
of seminars for her job. I was wondering if I could install Microsoft Office
2007 on her laptop. It's not a commercial business could I still install it
even though it's home and student?
