Office X does not allow running on multiple machines *on the same network*; Microsoft would need to be exchanging other information if they wanted to detect multiple usage on the Internet in general. As far as I can tell, they are not doing that. However, I don't quite understand Paul's remark about OS X won't letting me share the same external router. I am running a router (MacSense Pro) connected to my DSL modem and I have four things connected to the router: my printer, my wired G4, my old Lombardi, and Airport. There are three more machines running off the Airport right now. Of the five machines that are running, two are running OS X (10.1.2), one is running 9.2, one 9.1 and the last W2K (yes, I hate to admit it, but I have one of those too). So, OS X is very happy being connected to a router that it is sharing with other devices. ==Tamer -- 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/>
