Full Version Install

[lgn]

A couple questions that I haven't seen addressed regarding full version Office:

1) Does second permission allow install on two portables?

2) If one machine must be a desktop, is install required on that machine
first?

I don't know how much of a machine's info the software can recognize, but we
are considering replacing the dying desktop (which currently has Dell OEM
Office) with a laptop, docking station and additional monitor(s) and keyboard
as peripherals. Want to know what the licensing situation is prior to
committing to this approach.

Thanks!

The EULA for a full retail version says :

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a
license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the
“licensed device.†A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a
separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install and use one copy of the software on the
licensed device.
b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable device for
use by the single primary user of the licensed device.

Thanks, Gordon. That seems to cover it. Appreciate the help.

Different versions of Office have different Eula's. Depends which version of the
Retail Office the OP is using or talking about. He did not tell us.

I think you'll find that RETAIL versions ALL have a common section on
installations. It's the USAGE (ie academic etc etc) that differ.
