Office v.X product activation?

[chibianh]

Does Microsoft office v.x have that product activation thing that winxp and officexp have? I want to install it on my brother's tibook and my tibook when I get it.

While I'm not promoting anyone ripping off Microsoft of their hard earned and richly deserved money you have to be careful with installing multiple copies of the same software. Office v.X doesn't require activation like on PCs, but if you are on a network trying to run the same copy on multiple machines Office will look out on the network and prevent the second copy opened from running.

Yea, I did this. If someone else tries to get on with the same serial number, both applications quit on both computers. Although...

THERE IS A HACK to fix this in the terminal. If you want it, just email me!
