Can I impose an expiration date on an installaion of Office?

[Cheryl]

I have a temporary employee who needs Office for a field assignment.. I have
an extra license, and would like to install it on his laptop; but since he is
on the other side of the state and will never be in our home office, I'd like
to install it with a time limit (not unlike an evaluation copy). Is there
any way that I can nstall Office 2003 Professional suite so that it will stop
working sometime after the job is scheduled for completion?

Thanks for any help!

Not Office 2003 but have them install Open Office (www.openoffice.org) and
then have them set the default file saves to Word's .doc, Excel's .xls, etc.
Won't cost you or your company any money and the temporary employee can
still use after all is done with your company. Mostly similar interface to
Office 2003. Other option would be install of Office 2007 trial which will
expire in 60 days.
