On the 3rd activation, it will not activate and says you can call a toll free number to activate. This basically phones home through the internet. Vague recollection: When you first use it you have to activate it. This is also true for for the free version many folks received several months ago when it first came out.

This comes up in the eula (license) you have to click “I agree” to when you install it. The regular microsoft office 2003 retail version can be installed on two machines, a desktop and a portable (laptop) machine. However I could be wrong and am open to correction :^) ….ġ. These are the best of my recollections from installing it at work and at home several times. My understanding is this can be a pretty complicated issue.

Purchasing just the program (Word, Excel, etc.) you need, rather than the entire package.There are plenty of options besides purchasing an additional copy of Office, especially if you can’t justify the additional cost. Today I must assume that’s wrong, as I can find no documentation to back that Some software publishers have license agreements that state you may install on a certain number of machines as long as only one is in use at any time. Others allow you to make a single copy of the software as a backup.įor Microsoft Office specifically, I was lead to believe some time ago that one could install it on up to three machines for personal use. In practice things get just a little grayer than that, though.

On the surface, copying is simple: it’s illegal.
