Hi Kathy,
MS Office XP Small Business Edition is an OEM
package (i.e. it's not authorized for sale
by MS except through a dealer with a new PC).
The boxed retail MS Office XP products can be installed
on a laptop and a desktop PC and can be moved later.
The OEM copy is limited to a single machine install
and cannot be transferred to a different machine once
activated. Check the End User License Agreement (EULA)
in the Help menu of your Office XP apps.

I purchased an office xp small business, and have 2 active
computers in my home, why cant i install this on both, it
keeps saying that it is activated, yet I need to add it to
both systems???? >>
