Can you install Microsoft Office for Mac on two computers with one disc?

My sister and I are both going to buy Mac laptops in the summer. I wanted to get Microsoft Office for the Mac (and install it on my own laptop), and was wondering if I could use the SAME disc to install on my sister’s laptop. Is that possible? Hard to understand, I know.

Physically, yes. Legally, yes, if you have a multi-user license. If you do not have the multi-user license, there is nothing that can stop you from loading the software onto 2 computers (or more). You can register the software on one computer, but not the other. The computer with the registered software can receive updates on-line, the other should not (going on-line to receive updates with a hacked version is risky).
Anyway, if you do decide to load the software onto 2 computers, without a multi-user license, both computers cannot be connected (hard line or otherwise) to an intranet and use the software at the same time. When the software is started, it looks onto the intranet that it is connected to to see if there are any other computers running the same software under the same license. If it finds a computer with that software running, it will disallow the software to open.
Some other answers give suggestions for alternative office software. Here is another. "Open Office". Its free and can open any MS word document and save documents that you are working on as MS word documents.
yes, if u dont register it
Yes. All you have to do is keep the serial code, and use it twice. Just don’t register it, and you should be fine.
Also, if you don’t want to by the software you can get an app called iSerial Reader or Serial Seeker, to get the serial codes for various software.
But I would recommend getting iWork, it has everything that Microsoft Office has, but It is much easier.
