Installation on multiple computers

[accountisfake]

I recently purchased a version of Office 2007, which on the packaging states
"can be installed on up to 3 devices." The paperwork inside states, "can be
installed on up to three computers."

I have a tablet with XP, Vista and beta 7 and plan to install on all three
partitions. This is ONE device/computer.

I have a notebook with XP and beta 7 and plan to install office on both
partitions. This is ONE device/computer.

I also plan to install it on my main desktop in XP. This is ONE
device/computer.

Now, based on the packaging and paperwork, this is completely legal, but I
suspect that MonopolySoft won't let me. WHY?

Because you're paranoid? I don't know why you suspect them...

Section 2 of the Office 2007 Software License Terms specifically
states, "A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a
separate device." You have five partitions between two
computers, plus a third computer, which totals six devices, which
is twice as many as the Software License Terms allow.

I doubt that the activation code is able to distinguish hardware
partitions...

The instaler is seeing only the partition that you are instaling office on,
and thinks that sence it is a new OS it is a new device. Basicly you can only
instal office three times. Not once per partition. The reasion behind that is
that ther is no way for Microsoft to tell that you are useing defrent OS's on
the same computer. Sorry but if you want to install office on all your
partitions you will need to bye another License.
