    I think you can buy anothers license it cost less then the full program
    because you CAN'T copy office pro to your others computer i knows
    this s**k but BILL need is money.....

    So go to microsoft and check to buy anothers license for your office pro...

    Hope this help...

    Technically, The office license does say one desktop and one laptop (unless it is student and teacher edition, or something- I know some editions are a little different :confused: ). I would try it on both computers and see if there is a problem with activation.

    With the Windows XP, it is only allowed to be installed on one computer. There is no legal way to change this. You could buy a second license, or if the Windows is a FULL version, you could buy the cheaper upgrade version, and qualify it with the full version.

    Hope that helps!
