If I get a copy of the 1 Mac edition of Office 11 S&T can two user accounts on the same Mac have access to the software?
Got a tip for us?

Yes. The license is per machine, so as long as its installed on the one machine, as many users of that machine can use it.

Interestingly enough, the packaging does indicate 1 Mac, 1 User, right on top. I'd post a picture if I had one handy, I've installed a bunch of copies recently. However, there's of course no technical limitation to enforce that, nor would I find the OP's intent to be invalid. Microsoft seems to think that it's valid for them to claim that only 1 person can use it, however, it seems.

I haven't read the license agreement, and I'm not disputing that. It's simply a small sticker on the front of the box. I find it quite amusing actually.

Got the box sitting on my desk here with me and it does say 1 User | 1 Mac, which was the basis for my question. Wanted to make sure it wouldn't turn back into a pumpkin if we tried to open Word in the alternate user account.
I have no problem thumbing my nose at the 1 user policy that MS has put in here as long as there are no technical limitations that come into play after activation.
