upgrading 3 computers of office 2007

[djrichard]

I'm seeing auctions on ebay for MS Office 2007 upgrade with an indication
that the item being sold can be used for upgrading 3 PCs, assuming the three
PCs meet the upgrade requirements (e.g. have office 2003, or office 2002, or
Works ver 6.0, etc).

Is that truly the case? Or are all the MS Office 2007 upgrade SKUs limited
to upgrading just one PC?

There's even auctions for a "used" MS Office 2007 upgrade, where the seller
explains that one of the licenses are "used", but the other two are not.

Afaik, Home and Student, Professional Plus and Enterprise are the only
suites that allow installation on more than one computer. Home and Student
does not come in an upgrade package, and the other two are only available
via volume licensing. This page has a list of all the suites and retail
pricing, which may help.

You will see lots of things on Ebay that are not on the level.

This is completely illegal. Even if the seller has a package with three
valid licenses, all are sold when he sells you the package. You cannot
divide them up this way. You will see lots of things on Ebay that are not
on the level.
