Sharing Powerpoint over LAN

[Bob Moore]

I have Microsoft office XP Professional (Full Product)
installed on my PC. My son needs to use Powerpoint for
his schoolwork.

Is it possible to share my copy of Powerpoint over the
LAN between the two P.C.'s?

Probably not, and strictly speaking it might not be legal.

Some versions of XP allow you to install to a desktop and a laptop PC, for
example, but there may be further restrictions (ie, for use by only one
user, etc.)

Best bet: read the End User License Agreement.

As far as I can see, the EULA states that I can install
it on a laptop also. I don't ever use Powerpoint, so it
won't be used in two locations at the same time...
