How do I use Microsoft Office 08 (mac) on multiple computers without being forced to exit?

Andy: How do I use Microsoft Office 08 (mac) on multiple computers without being forced to exit?
I installed Microsoft Office 2008 on multiple macs, using the same serial number. When both computers try to run Word, one of the computers forces the program to quit. If I turn off the airport, it will allow both of the computers to run it, however this can be inconvenient sometimes if i need to use the internet. Is there some way to run Word on both computers at the same time, with the Airport enabled?

You can’t. What you are currently doing is breaching the terms of the licence agreement.

1 serial number, 1 computer. If you want to use Microsoft Office on multiple computers, you must buy multiple copies of it.

Or you could just install a couple of copies of OpenOffice, take your pick 🙂

If you purchased the Home and Student edition of MS Office 2008 for Mac, it come with 3 licenses, which would allow you to run up to three instances of the app on your network simultaneously.
