Office 2010 OEM license states exactly the same limitations in regards to parallel use on multiple machines.
- jseliger 14y agoOffice 2010 OEM license states exactly the same limitations I don't know, but I do know that Office 2011 for OS X allows installs on at least two machines. Because I've done it.
- pyre 14y agoOEM license != software The fact that you've successfully installed Office 2011 for OS X on at least two machines only means that the installer doesn't actively prevent this. It does not mean that the license agreement for the software says that this is ok.

- timbre 14y agoThat's pretty much what "OEM license" means. The whole point of the retail license was that it wasn't tied to hardware; what's news is that this is no longer offered.
