system, I have XP Pro on my C partition and 2003 Server
on my E partition all my data is on the D partition.
I use 2003 and my wife uses XP and we both need accass to
the same Outlook data file.
To install Outlook on two partitions, you need two licenses, if I read the
EULA correctly. The section on installing in the EULA says:
<<1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided
that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
1.1 Installation and use. You may:
(a) install and use a copy of the Software on one personal computer or
other device; and
(b) install an additional copy of the Software on a second, portable device
for the exclusive use of the primary user of the first copy of the Software.
1.2 Alternative Rights for Storage/Network Use. As an alternative to
Section 1.1(a), you may install a copy of the Software on a network storage
device, such as a server computer, and allow one access device, such as a
personal computer, to access and use that licensed copy of the Software over
a private network. You must obtain a license to the Software for each
additional device that accesses and uses the Software installed on the
network storage device, except as permitted by Section 1.4 of this EULA.>>
1.1(a) seems clearly to indicate that you may install only one copy of the
software on any one PC and that at most, two copies of the software may be
installed, provided the second copy is on a laptop or other portable device
whose sole user is the same user as the the one who uses the first copy the
most.
