office XP license

[steener]

A simple question (I think) before I open the box on the Office XP upgrade I
just bought:

I have three computers in the house, not networked. Can I install this
upgrade (to Office 97) on all three, or will the license allow an
installation on only one computer?

thanks,
Steener

For the best most accurate answer to this question it should be asked on one
of the office boards. Click Newsgroups on the Outlook Express toolbar, type
"officexp" without the quotes in the search box, press enter and post this
question on one of the office boards.

Absolutely. For example, anyone not willing to pay for a license for each
instance of, say, Office, can just download and install something like
OpenOffice.
