Microsoft Office is licensed for two PCs
« on: August 06, 2010, 09:29:35 PM »
Surprise! surprise!! Did you know that the MS Office license you bought is actually valid for two PCs? Well, even I didn’t know until I read this post on Neowin. In a reply to a tweet, someone from Microsoft Australia has spilled the beans on this hidden gem.
It is quite common these days for people to have a desktop as well as a notebook at home. So, it will be unfair to buy multiple licenses of MS office in order to use it on both the PCs. That must be the reason behind this not so well publicized licensing.

The same logic holds good for other productivity suites as well. So make sure you do the painful reading of the license terms before buying an additional license.
Here is an extract from MSLT.
