Hi there, I have a computer loaded with office 2003 and have bought a laptop. When I am going to be using my laptop out of the house on the raod my home computer will not be in use and vis versa. So can I load and use my Office 2003 licence on my laptop. They will never be in use at the same time??

Yea sorry should have made that distinction myself.

If it's a retail copy you can install on desktop and a laptop provided you are the sole user of both.

If it is a OEM copy (i.e. came on your dell) then you can ONLY install it on the machine it came on. It can not be installed on a laptop nor transferred to another machine.
