Hi Mark,
If the copy of MS Office you have is an OEM
copy, you're limited to one computer, same with
the Office XP Student & Teachers Edition.
If you a boxed retail copy of MS Office
and you're not able to activate on line you
can use the telephone activation method. Full
boxed retail copies allow 2 installations
(the license agreement is in the help files
of your Office apps).
=========
I have installed Office on my desktop and my laptop when
i went to register the copy on my laptop a message came
up saying that the copy was already registered. Do I have
to buy another copy of office? >>

I hope this helps you,
Bob Buckland ?
