Problem

I need to know if I can:

• Install PowerPoint on my desktop and on my laptop
• Transfer my PowerPoint license to someone else
• Distribute the PowerPoint viewer to others
• Etc.

Solution

Read the End User License Agreement for your copy of PowerPoint or the Viewer.

PowerPoint 2007

• Click the round Office button and choose PowerPoint Options (the button's at the bottom of the dialog/menu)
• On the PowerPoint Options dialog box that appears, click Resources and when the Resources screen appears, click About.
• In the About PowerPoint dialog box, click the blue link: "View the Microsoft Software License Terms"
• Read the first paragraph carefully. There are three different sets of licensing terms. The one that applies to you depends on whether you purchased a boxed copy of Office, received Office pre-installed on your computer or purchased it online.
