Office 2007 Ultimate Steal installation limits

PLEASE NOTE: Ultimate Steal is not a reference to actual theft.

I have bought Windows Office 2007 using the Ultimate Steal web site from Microsoft. (Which means it is a lot cheaper as I am a University student).

My question is: Does anyone know of the installation limit on this product. I have installed it on my PC and would like to know if I am allowed to (legally) install it on my laptop in Wine, or perhaps my Vista partition. I have e-mailed Microsoft with no response for sometime.

Thankyou for your time.

chore such as it is, i would imagine the quickest way to find the info you want is to read the eula. if you're not sure then, maybe you could copy and paste it and someone could maybe advise.

I don't think Microsoft would do that. They didn't for Windows XP Home I believe. I couldn't activate over the Internet after 15 activations, I could still activate by phone, but only about 5 more times before I had to start talking to a real live person over the phone. I don't think that was anywhere in my EULA.

I'm pretty sure you can install it on more than one machine that YOU own.

If you want the strict, letter of the law answer, read on...

You are permitted to install that copy of MS Office on ONE computer. Period. It doesn't matter how you install it, you get ONE install for your own personal and non-professional (assuming you got it cheaply because you got an Academic license) use.

You my re-install it as many times as you need, but only on one computer at a time. If you were, for instance, to sell computer A with Office installed on it, you are legally required to remove it from Computer A before reinstalling that license on Computer B. That's the black letter law. Make sense?

Now, just how tightly those laws are *enforced*, is another matter.
