Office licensing
Hi
A staff worker at our office has a laptop for work at home. Can she use the license form her office pc at her home laptop too? I vaguely remember some similar terms a few years back. Could someone please clarify this? Thanks Regards |

Office licensing
Hi John,
It depends on the type of license you have purchased for the company. If the product has an OEM license (came with the PC) it's licensed to a specific machine, if it's a retail product license, the license agreement generally allows the primary user to use it on one PC and one portable computer. If it's a MS Volume license it's a one license per seat issue so you'd ordinarily be using an additional license for the other machine if you provide it, but in that case you may be interested in the Home Use License part of the Volume licensing program. http://microsoft.com/licensing/sa/be...se_rights.mspx https://hup.microsoft.com/ =============== "John" wrote in message ...

One clarification: presuming you have full licenses and not OEMs that came
with the computers, you may install it on the laptop and use it at home PROVIDING no one else uses the computer at work. You cannot have two users using the license simultaneously - if you see what I mean. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "John" wrote in message ...
