Licence Question...Need to Install Office X for Mac on new Mac Pro...

[MacUser1]

Hi Im trying to install a version of OfficeX on a new Mac Pro at home.
This version of OfficeX is already installed on my laptop and my work
computer. Do I need to purchase an additional licence to install it on
this new Mac Pro computer for my home? If so, is it expensive? Is it
like buying a whole new software package or is it just an additional
user licence fee? Any help anyone can offer would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,

I'm no expert in these matters, and I have yet to read the EULA that came
with Office, but as far as I know, you will need to get a new license. A new
license means a new software package; you cannot simply buy a new product
key. And even if you could do that, the price would probably still be the
same as the price for the boxed version of Office. On a brighter note, this
will allow you to get Office 2004, which is newer and more feature-rich than
Office v.X.

Maybe someone else will be able to tell you more about the licensing issue
and / or correct my statement.
