If I get Laptop, can I legally install my Office Professional 2007 there too?

[Octavio]

I own a full copy of Office Professional 2007 which is installed in my PC
now.

If I get Laptop, can I legally install my one single seat of Office
Professional 2007 there too in addition to the installation that I already
have in my PC? As a second personal use installation of the program? Will
Microsoft allow that?

I am probably more interested in at least installing Outlook 2007 in that
laptop, since that is what I use for my e-mails.

Please advice.

If you read the EULA of one of the programs installed on your PC, you'll
have the answer.

Thanks, Willet.

Any ideas where that is so I could take a look at? Some of these things are
sometime hidden in super secret places.

One of the reasons we use the Newsgroups sometimes is to see if we get quick
answers from some of the knowledgeable correspondents, so that is why I
originally asked here.

if you have the retail version of office (not an OEM copy that came with
your old computer) it can be used on 2 computers - typically a desktop and a
portable - that only you use. You can't install it on your computer and your
spouses or kids computer. (The student and home version can be installed on
your spouses and kids computers but it does not include outlook and its not
licensed for commercial work.)

Thanks, Diane.
Since posting to Willet, I then found some information under Help of Outlook
(very big paragraphs, and readings), it looks that I will be able to do
that, I also then e-mailed directly to Microsoft to ask and confirm and
learn whatever they want to tell me.
I still don't have the answer from Microsoft, but if any one else has
anything else to say about this, I will look at it since then I will better
informed.
One question that I did not asked Microsoft is in my PC I have Vista, and in
the laptop I probably will have Windows 7 since that is what is being
included now with the PCs.
If any one has any to say about this, I will appreciate it.

The OS has absolutely nothing to do with the legalities of running two
copies - only if the program will run.
