Home and Student - Which 3 Computers?
I did a search for a similar topic, but I don't think I could find exactly what I was looking for. I just got a new Sony Vaio and was looking into Office 2010 Home and Student.
When I looked into 2007 as a possibility, I knew that it could be installed on up to three computers. I had 2007 before, but my hard drive on my old desktop was fried, so all Office was lost.
But I started to lean more towards 2010. The rules seemed the same, that I could install on up to three computers. My mum and sister want Office on their computers too, so we were going split the cost three ways and each have Office. But the wording for 2010's rule seemed a little different. It says that Office can be installed on up to three computers *in the same house*. This would be all well and fine except I'm heading back to Boston for school in September, and therefor would not be in the same house.
This is probably me just reading this way too literally, but is there really something that would prevent me from using Office once I'm not in the same house? Something like IP address that would detect something?
I know how dumb of a question this may seem, but before I invest in a brand spankin' new copy of Office 2010, I want to be sure that I'm just being technologically paranoid about "Three computers in one house", and where I am would make no difference. You can never be too careful with new programs
Thanks!
