I am thinking of pre ordering Office 2010 Home and Business Edition to
replace my Office 2003. Will I be able to install it on my desktop and
laptop with the license that comes with 2010 or will I have to buy two
licenses? That would probably be a deal killer.

Thank you.

You can pre-ordering now from Amazon
<http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2010-Home-Student/dp/B00337D8U6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1271536325&sr=1-1>,
or you could buy Office 2007 now (from amazon or other retailers) and
get upgrade free of charge to Office 2010
<http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-gb/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-united-kingdom-FX101829423.aspx>.


The upgrade is either download version or a DVD version subject to
paying a modest sum to cover handling and shipping costs about $10.

Either way, the systems requirements for Office 2010 is here:

<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ee624351%28office.14%29.aspx>

You can install Office 2010 - Home 7 Student version on 3 systems at any
one time so I can tell you categorically that you don't need to buy two
licenses.

Jack,

That depends on how you buy it - major sources on the internet have quoted
Microsoft that upgrade pricing will NOT be available.

Basically, you either buy a Full Packaged Product that includes a disc and
more flexible license terms (this is what I believe you need) or a more
limited Product Key Card (Previously the term Media-Less was used)

A Product key card version is less expensive, BUT Licensed for 1 install on
single PC only AND License cannot be transferred to another PC -

according to the description supplied on Amazon.com (I am using that source
as a reference so you can compare and pre-order if desired)

Included with Office Home and Business 2010

* Word * Excel * PowerPoint * Outlook * OneNote

Included with Office Professional 2010

* Word * Excel * PowerPoint * Outlook * OneNote * Publisher * Access

Yes, thank you, Does what you say about the Home Student version apply to
the Home and Business Version?

Thanks again.

Thank you. Did you mean the Home and Business version rather that the
Professional version or did I misinterpret?
