Any bright ideas on how to gain just one licence to run microsoft office on Mac. I already have a disk with three licences but they are used up and I don't want to transfer one to a new computer as I won't be able to read any docs on the old one. I also don't want to have to purchase a further three just to use one!

If it's simply to read docs then would OpenOffice/NeoOffice suffice?

anyone in your family/household a student, or with theNHS (I think) – £38 for Office 2008.

Looked into that, it's still £78 with student discount.

why can't you just install a copy on the new machine? You can only physically use one machine at a time, i assume this is home use?

Looked into that, it's still £78 with student discount.

£38 at software4students. hth.

Thanks for that, I was looking at student discount on the Apple site. Sorted!!!!

OpenOffice

stop worrying about the licence for ever – and yes it will work
