Home use of Office XP Professional

[James]

Can someone please clarify something for me before I make
a big mistake?
If I have 2 PCs at home: one laptop and one desktop, and I
want to use Office XP Professional on both of them... does
this mean I have to pay 2 times for the same software just
because I happen to have 2 PCs at home for my own use? Or
equally, do I have to pay for an additional certificate
(on top of the original software bought) to then install
the original on the 2nd PC?

According to the EULA on the Microsoft Site, you are entitled to install Office
XP on 1 desktop and 1 laptop. IIRC you are technically not allowed to use them
both at the same time. Let your conscience be your guide.

That's a good question. Sorry I don't know the answer but
would be interested to know if you get a reply.

Thanks
