How to check that Office Pro 2007 is licenced for 3 computers?

[PigUgly]

I recently bought Office Pro 2007 Plus, licenced for use on 3 computers...

I have just managed to install on the first computer - how do I check the
licence information to confirm it is licenced for total 3 computers?

Any help wold be much appreciated

Only Office Home and Student is license for 3 computers.

Office Professional can be installed on a desktop and portable, used by the
same person, but not simutaneously.

Or two portables, the first being the primary device.....

Or two desktops.

No. The EULA specifically states one primary device (which can be either a
desktop or a laptop) and one PORTABLE device.

Operative word: "can".

No, operative word PORTABLE....

Let me see if I can make this simpler. The EULA says you only *may*
install it on one primary device and one portable device. Experience
tells us that one *can* install it on two desktops.

<sigh> Not very ethical, are you?

I didn't say I did it or that I approve of it. I only stated the facts
and you didn't, which actually makes me more ethical than you. And as
far as ethics are concerned, MS is no one to talk or say they are some
kind of shining example.

I know you live in Spain but please do a course in English comprehension.

facts:
From my retail office 2007 License agreement.
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

No "can" there, is there? Read the dictionary definition of "may" as opposed
to "can"

Reading comprehension problems? No, the EULA does not say you can; it
says you may. Fact is you can although MS doesn't want you to do it.

My native language is English and I know the difference between can and
may. One is a capability to do something (can) and the other is
permission to do something (may). MS says you may not. Fact is you can
if you are willing to breech an EULA that's never been taken to court
and is not the law.

My school distributes Office 2007 Professional Plus to students for use on 3
computers. They have a EULA on their web site that supersedes the one on
the install DVD.
