Question about iWork '09

[adamvk]

I'm considering ditching MS Office basically because it plagues my Mac. It just seems buggy, and I don't like it.

Anyways I'm looking at just buying iWork '09 used on Amazon. So my question is, how do they do the licenses? Is it just a serial, or do I call to activate it, or what?

And could I install it on both my Macs?

Thanks.

Licensing is done via a serial number, and technically you can install iWork on as many Macs as you want, but legally it is not allowed to install it on more than one Mac, except with the iWork Family Pack, which gives you the license for five Macs.

iWork '09 does not require a serial key unless you go the electronic purchase option from the downloadable trial. When installed via the retail disc the serial key is auto-inputted during the installation process, saving you the trouble of having to input it later.
