    Hello,

    At the moment I have a copy of Office 2007 Professional Edition. I am thinking about buying a MacBook Pro and dual booting OSX and Vista. If I install it onto my Vista partition, can I later uninstall it and load it onto another machine? Or will the license not allow that?

    Can you physically do it? Sure. Does the EULA allow it? Depends on the license.

    Yes, you can move Office around all you want - you just remove it from the previous machine before installing it on the new one.

    But...you may have to call in to Authenticate the new product.

    And if you have a multiple license copy, like me, you just end up eating licenses until you have to call on each one. Sorry, that's a little off topic.

    Yes, you can, but if you get the screen that says to call, do so and tell them it's only on one machine now, which it should be.

    Have fun!
