Hey! iWork just came via fed-ex. I also ordered a new powerbook but it won't be here for about a week. The iWork software has a serial #. If I install it on my current powerbook, can I transfer it easily in a week?

Thanks
 
Assuming you uninstall it from your current book, I would think you are in the clear. Most of Apple's software agreements only allow it to be installed on one machine at a time.
