I purchased a copy of Microsoft Office XP a year or so ago from my College. I installed it on my main computer at the time. Is it legal under the license to install it on a second personal computer while its still being used on the 1st?

Well, when I had Office Xp under an edu license, it was legal to have a copy on a laptop and a desktop (mobile and permanent), and this was verified by a Microsoft employee I talked to on the phone. However, 2 desktops is probably out of the terms of the license, and newer versions of office may have even changed the 1 laptop, 1 desktop rule.
