Depends which version you buy. OEM-once installed on the machine it must be activated then the license lives and dies with that machine. Full version-may be moved from one machine to another,but only on one machine at a time. Corporate-does not need to be activated I think it can be installed on up to 10 machines You do not need to activate, but if it'snot legit you can't get updates.

If you mean Windows XP, typically it is licensed such that it can only be installed on one machine.
This is also typically true for Office also, unless you are talking about a business license agreement, which will vary.
Some software is licensed in such a way that if you personally have 2 PCs, say a desktop and a notebook, it may be allowed to be installed in both places, as long as you are the only user. It comes down to the fine print.

you don't need any programs to restrict other users or to limit their usage of the computer so as to restrict them from downloading programs; running applications; change the setting. JUST be the administrator of that PC and control everything. give less power or in most cases, if the administrator wants to control the PC fully, the other users/guests is only limited to save or read files such as documets and the like BUT cannot download anything or cannot run any application. now, to set the limitation, click start > run (type in the box) Control UserPasswords2. highlight the "administrator" account, click property. from here: check the boxes that says you are limiting the other users account usage of the PC, etc. click OK. restart your PC for activation of changes. from now on, they could no longer change the setting. and oh, don't forget, set a password to your administrator account as they might reset the password and change the setting also.

No, not all. By paying extra money, u can purchase more licenses. With some products, u can purchase a special edition such as "Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition", which comes with a license for three computers.

Some are free and some are restricted to one user license. i should say that it totally depends upon the license. for instance...
Normally people have a different license when compared to an university or college where all can use the product even in their personal systems. so it does change.

They allow install on three different computers, I believe. However, it is still a one user license in most cases (as in, you're not supposed to use on all three computers at once).

Legally, yes. If you have a disk, you should only install to one PC.
This will be different to the new Vista discs where one install is it, and the system is supposed to prevent any more than one reinstall on the key.
