but i wasn't asking about MANY eula's, i was asking about the
one for microsoft project. and there IS an answer set in stone
for that, which is that i can make a second copy for my laptop.

geez, it makes sense to me. i absolutely MUST use it, i DO use it,
and they DID buy a copy for me, which i use on my desktop computer.
what they did NOT do, and which they are unlikely to do, is spend
another $600.00 for another copy so that i can work at home sometimes,
or come in late. and i certainly would not spend $600 of my own
money for that.

OK, again, sorry for the confusion. It never occurred to me that
different products WITHIN the msft business products might have different
eula's (and i'm still not sure that they do). i assumed that whatever
the regs for e.g., word, they would apply to excel, powerpoint,
outlook, project, etc. and they may.
and to answer the other gentleman's question, yes i do abide by the
eula's. i actually READ them for products other than stuff like this
that i have to use because i have to use it, and for business-related
software, i usually never do anything other than use it on my work computer,
turn off my work computer, and go home, so WHATEVER the eula says, i'm
not pushing the envelope of the conditions.
