Office XP

[Michael Villaneuva]

I bought a new desktop with Office XP. I am considering
purchasing a laptop. Can I legally install Office XP on
the laptop as I would not be using both machines at the
same time?

This question is answered in M$ FAQ as follows:

Q. Can I install my copy of Office XP on my home computer and my
laptop?

A. Yes. According to the End User License for Microsoft Software, you
can install and use your retail copy of Office XP on a single desktop
computer and on your laptop, for your exclusive use. However, this does
not apply to Office XP product licenses acquired with the purchase of a
computer. These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses are
single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another desktop
computer or laptop. Learn more about Microsoft product activation.
