VS 2005 licensing

[Steve Long]

Hello,
sorry for the cross-post but I didn't get an answer in the other groups I
posted in. I'm hoping someone can help with a definitive answer on this
question:


On the "Microsoft Software License Terms" agreement, under 2.a. it states:
One user may install and use copies of the software to design, develop, test
and demonstrate your programs.

Does this mean that the licensed user can install a copy on more than one
computer, for instance at work and at home?


Thanks
Steve

As I read and interpret the license for VS 2005, the license per user, so I
can (and have) installed the product on three PC's.
I believe in other posts, you asked for an answer from someone "with clout",
so I didn't reply sooner.
I should add that I am neither a Microsoft employee, nor an attorney, so you
can take my answer for what it's worth. If I needed a definitive answer, I'd
call the nearest Microsoft office and ask for an interpretation.

Thanks Peter. The license does indeed say "copies" so I'm inclined to
interpret it the same way. If anyone else has any more input on the subject,
please feel free.
BTW, the license copy I posted is from an MSDN Universal subcription
