Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / May 20053 Installs on 3 Different Computers?
I installed Microsoft Office 2004 (Student Edition) on my iBook when I purchased it, then reinstalled it after some slowdown. I used two different access keys...does this mean that I have installed it on two different computers? Can I use the access key that I used during the first install again, or will I have to use the third key? The reason I ask is that my family's going to get an iMac and I will install it on that, but then when I get a new laptop will I be able to install using one of the first two access keys? Thanks. You could have reinstalled with the same key, that you used first, and yes, you can use it again. You can reinstall with the same key as many times as necessary. Each key can only be associated with ONE active and installed program at a time. If switching computers, just remove Office from the old computer and reinstall using the same key on the new computer. > I installed Microsoft Office 2004 (Student Edition) on my iBook when I > purchased it, then reinstalled it after some slowdown.

A volunteer! Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ For "Access Key", do you mean the "key" which comes with the software for using the software? If so, I just feel confused how come you have so many access keys? You got 2 already and you seemed to have a third one?! Do you mean you have paid for the 3 licenses of Office 2004?

Do you mean you have paid for > the 3 licenses of Office 2004? Student/Teacher edition comes with three complete licenses. Dear Colleagues, I have purchased a copy of Office Pro 2004 for the Mac and was under the impression that I would be able to install it on more than computer. After a successful installation on on multiple computers in my home when two people are using the same Office application a warning is generated stating that more than one user has the same application open. Can the Office Pro 2004 version be used on more than one Mac at a time? Do i have to purchase another license?

Can the Office Pro 2004 version be used on more than one Mac at a > time? No. The Office 2004 End User License Agreement states that the software can be installed on one desktop machine and one laptop machine. However, I don't think it allows for the software to be used simultaneously on both machines > Do i have to purchase another license? I would think so. If you are a student or teacher, you can buy the Student & Teacher Edition, which provides three licenses at a reduced price. <http://snipurl.com/ewqu> SignatureMickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Yes, you need to purchase another license. (Well, another retail box to get the license number, and see this thread " Re: reconcile serial numbers to the install discs." for switching licenses without reinstalling). Only the Student/Teacher edition comes with 3 license numbers. Other editions can be installed on one laptop and one desktop, but still only one installation can be active at a time. > Dear Colleagues, > I have purchased a copy of Office Pro 2004 for the Mac and was [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > time?

I guess I have to spend more money and buy the Teacher/student addition for the other computers in the house. CTMA > Yes, you need to purchase another license.
