A couple of months ago I bought a Visual Studio .Net 2003 Academic Edition. Unfortunately the licence doesn't allow the software to be installed on more than one pc (I didn't know at the time). Last week I tried to install it on another pc, but - of course - it couldn't be activated. The reason I want to do this is that I live with my parents in the weekend, without access to my own pc.
Now I'm planning on buying Visual C++ .Net 2003, hoping that it's licence allows installation on more than one pc. Is this assumption correct Or maybe someone knows where I can find a(n electronic) copy of the eula. I'd rather not spend another 150 EUR if I can't use the software on different pc's.
Thanks!

Hello Koen Willemsen!
Today I'm happy to report that your post to this forum actually surfaced a bug in the activation server configuration for the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic product!
After working to investigate an answer to your question, we determined that the activation server was incorrectly limiting the install of the product to one machine. The EULA for this product clearly indicates that the product may be installed and activated on as many three machines for the product owner/user.
This issue was escalated to the division release team, and to Product Support, and in just a few business days we were able to correct the problem. The activation server configuration has been updated to allow three installations/activations for the same user. We are not always able to respond to an issue so quickly, and the issue might never been discovered had you not reported it.
We want to thank you for taking time to report this issue, as it will have positive impact on all of our Visual Studio 2003 Academic product consumers. While we strive for no defects in our setup, licensing and activation user experiences, this was clearly a significant bug.
Thank you again,
April Reagan, Visual C++ Program Management
