There is *no* restriction on using it only three times. It can be used
as often as desired, as long as you don't violate the EULA with
respect to where it's installed simultaneously.


can I have it on more than one computer at the same time or do I have to remove it from my old one if I put it on my new one.


It depends. If yours is a retail version, the EULA permits having it
installed on one desktop *and* one laptop. But if it's an OEM Version,
no, no you may not do that.

I have an OEM version of Office 2003 and the EULA quite clearly states that I may install it on a desktop and a laptop.

I have it on my desktop and I just bought a lap top and would like to put it there also. I've only used the key once time. I don't want Office 2007, if I have to I'll wait for Office 2010

Check your 2003 license. Chances are it is good for installation on 3
systems. Then you should have no problem installing it on Vista (unless
you already used the key 3 times).
