I purchased Word 2004 for Mac and was told by the people at apple I
could install it on up to three computers. I only have only have one
code and everytime my one computer uses on our home network the other
one can't acess the program. I assume the apple people were wrong but
can anyone tell me what to do here

You can install *the Student and Teacher Edition* of Microsoft Office 2004
on up to three different computers in the same household. Any other version
(Standard or Professional) only includes a single license key. If you really
want to use Word on more than one computer at the same time, you will need
to buy a new copy, I'm afraid. That being said, the Student and Teacher
Edition, should you be eligible to buy it, can be found for quite cheap at
online retailers and eBay.

You either misunderstood or were misinformed: The Student/Teacher edition is
the only one that comes with 3 license keys. All other editions (Standard,
Professional) include only one key. Although each key permits installation
on 2 systems the software can only be in use on one of them at a time.

Theoretically, you can install the same package on as many systems as you
wish using the same key to do so, but it is A) a violation of the EULA and
B) if the systems are networked only one will be able to run the software at
any given time.
