I don't think so. I HAVE tried it many many times. The same version of Office X with the same serial number cannot be run on both a laptop and a desktop over the same network (unless the ports are blocked to keep Office from seeing the other machine - which I have done for convenience sake). I was never able run Office X on my Cube and my Powerbook if they were both on my Airport network. If E'rage was open on my Cube and I opened my Powerbook and launched E'rage at the same time, within a minute or so, I got a window stating that another copy has been detected and that Erage will now quit. I can, however, run Office 2001 on one of them and Office X (upgrade) on both at the same time with no problems, because the serial numbers are different. Not that I ever need to do that now, since OS9 is a distant memory. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
