Frontpage 2003 on Multiple Computers?

mikey1120 · Dec 4, 2004

I bought Frontpage 2003 recently, and I installed it on my computer at home, but I also have a laptop that I would like to have Frontpage 2003 on for when I am out of town. What are the laws as far as installing it on multiple computers that I own? Of course I would not give away copies of this program, but if I buy my own copy, and install it on both my desktop and laptop and activate both of them, is that illegal? Thanks for any help!

i think, if you've only bought the one license, you are only legible to install it onto one computer, but can make a backup copy of it because that is legal - backup meaning copying it to another disc or saving it as a .iso image to your hard drive. sorry, but its the law!

well just read the Office 2003 EULA and if I have read this correctly you can install if it is installed on 1 portable device ( Laptop I presume ) if its owned by you... you cannot install it on another desktop PC or 2nd laptop.

1 Desktop and 1 Laptop install only.

Direct quote from Office 2003 EULA

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

(a) install and use a copy of the Software on one personal computer or other device; and

if in any doubt email Microsoft for clarification.

Thanks for your research! I do believe that it is legal and will go ahead and install it. You saved me some big bucks, I appreciate it!

Frontpage sux0rs bigtime, you should have bought dreamweaver, the code is so much cleaner.

frontpage is a far more simpler application to use and is easy to upload to your webspace. I stil haven't discovered how to properly use dreamweaver, might do one day though
