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?
