Noob Question About Office 2010 And Other Paid License Software. [Solved]

Hi.


I am not sure if you understand the title of my thread. I came here from another computer just to ask a question. Here's my situation.


I just installed Office Home and Student 2010 on a second computer. The question is, if I uninstall it from the first computer I installed it in, will that first time still be used up, the license, you know, or will I be able to install it on 2 more computers in my house if I uninstall it from the first one?


I hope you understand my query and it's not confusing. I'd never had this conflict before.


Thanks
Magali.

Updating from my Computer right now.


I just found the answer to this question directly from Microsoft's Official Website in the Office section and it says if I uninstall Office from one computer I can use it on two more computers. In other words if I have it installed on 3 computers and I uninstall it from one of the three computers and get a fourth computer, I'll be able to install it on the fourth computer, so thanks to everyone that visited. I prefer to leave this thread here in case someone else has the same question.


Best regards
Magali.

Yes, I am still using this PC, but I am no longer using Word on it, so I am going to go ahead and uninstall Word and all of Microsoft Office from this one. The truth is that I only have it installed on two computers right now, but we are no longer going to need it on this computer, so I am going to go ahead and uninstalled because I am thinking of getting a new computer, and if I do, I am going to install it on that computer. I read in Microsoft's Website from Ron, a customer service representative, the gentleman or lady that was asking the question, asked if he could install the program on a 4th computer, a computer he or she had just bought, or if he or she had to purchase a whole new program, you know, another copy of the program...and Ron told him or her that he or she had two options: buy a new copy of the program or uninstall it from one of the first three computers and then install it on the 4th computer. Darn, I wish I had that link to that message-board post. I am going to find it.


I found this page. Not sure if it's clear on whether or not I can uninstall the program from a computer I am no longer going to use it on and install it on another one with no problems, as that's what I wanted to know. I ask you check out the link and tell me what you think.

That's not the link I found that I thought had clarified my question last night, but it deals with the same issue, so that's the one I'm posting. I plan to find the page I read last night later on and come back to this thread and post the link to that page.
