Question about office 2007

[ezzye23]

Purchased the 2007 Office Professional Upgrade, does anyone know if it will let you install on more than one machine. If not is there any kind of family discount like with vista?

From the EULA (not sure if this applies to the upgrade version)

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the ?licensed device.? A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install and use one copy of the software on the licensed device.
b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
c. Separation of Components. The components of the software are licensed as a single unit. You may not separate the components and install them on different devices.

I miss the days when the Office EULA would let you legally install it on an office computer AND a personal laptop or home computer.

Someone said the home edition said you could install it on 3 machines... although this was in a NewEgg review, so I can't be entirely sure how correct it was. I'm looking to buy the "Student and Home Edition" and probably Outlook 2007 as an extra (as buying them together in O2007 Standard is about $350 compared to $250~ for separate). Although I'm out of college and I'm not sure I can aptly place the expenditure as worthwhile now that I am. I've always liked Word as a document editor though and (for me) OpenOffice has never been able to replace it (I actually tried using OO2.0 for awhile.. just couldn't shake the MS off )

To me, Outlook 2007 is fantastic. Seems so much more intuitive.
