Office 2007 Volume License

Would like to confirm the following;

1) For each user that has an Office 2007 Volume License they can also
install it on a laptop for their own use?

2) Is it just 1 laptop? i.e. what if a person has a travel laptop and a
different one they use at home for work?

3) If I have a workstation with an Office 2007 Open License that has 2 users
that work opposite shifts. Is just the one license ok? Also they have a
vehicle that has a mobile laptop in it that they both use - can that Office
2007 license be installed on that laptop as the secondary use device?

Thanks,
Brad

The term is Work At Home program or WAH

Volume license is for a specific number of installations. It doesn't
matter what you do with it as long as you don't exceed the licensing
terms. So if your license is for 5 systems, then you can install on 5
systems only . NOT more.

However, people tend to forget how many systems they have especially
when they can't count up to 5 so they always exceed this number and MS
hasn't got means to check on this. Steve Ballmer used to visit his
customers at home to check this but he has given up as there are so many
houses to visit!!.

I think what I'm looking for is "Secondary Install Rights" or "Portable Use
Rights".

I think it still applies to Office 2007 Pro Volume Licensing - but not sure.

No, I told you what it is. For each volume license you have, you can
provide ONE "Work at Home" installation. You need one license for each
PC at work. It matters not whether it is laptop or desktop. You seem to
be confusing the the FFP Retail license(which confers the right to
install on a Primary device, AND a second installation on a Portable
device for the exclusive use of the primary user of the Primary
installation) with the Volume licening. So

1. NO, unless it is the Work At Home program.

2. NO, it is ONE PC.

3. First half is YES, 2 people can use the PC. The second half is NO,
you ONLY have ONE license.

Found this on the Volume Licensing site for Office Pro Plus 2007.

"Portable Device. You may install a copy on a portable device for use by the
single primary user of the licensed device."

Also confirmed with Microsoft on the phone.

Never mind found it. Seems a bit different than last year.
http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing....ocumentId=2557

It looks to me like you need to "firm up" your questions.

In #1. Personal use, or work use?

in #2. You would need "Work at Home" to do the second one.

and # 3. Who is the "Primary user" and then only they could use it.
