Q on Microsoft Office 2008 and Activation

[ravenvii]

I have two computers (an iMac and a MacBook). I am about to buy Office 2008 Student + Home, but I'm wondering about the activation part. Can I install it on both computers? From what I understand, the license for Office for Windows allows you to install on one desktop and one laptop. Is that true of 2008?

If not, will activation be a problem (In other words, does the activation expire, like with Windows? Meaning, I can activate it on different hardware after about 3 to 6 months)?

Thanks in advance...

I'm pretty certain you get three license keys. So you should be fine to do two installations.

I quoted the exact language of the license agreement, so there's no guesswork.

I hadn't actually read your post before replying. There was only 4 minutes difference.
