    Dual-boot and its license issue


    @MisterEd

    It's noticed that your computer runs dual-boot. I would like to know how you to deal its license issue.

    1. MSFT OS: requests two licenses. usually not a big problem as computer manufacturer can help.
    2. MSFT Office: requests two licenses too. that causes to double expense. If one OS without Office, then it's NOT useful while taking much OS partition room. no worth.

    Any way run a dual-boot computer with one Office license? In reality, only one OS in use on dual-boot computer anytime.

    In practice, within one of dual-boot OS, I installed an out-of-date copy of Office. but still NOT very useful. just better than nothing.

    Office licensing is based upon a per install use (not OS). If you have office installed on both system than each is going to need to be activated. I don't know if any way around that.
