Hello,

I'm thinking about purchasing Crossover Linux, however I have a question that I would like to see resolved before I buy it. I currently dual boot my pc with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 (both 64bit), and I have installed Office 2007 on the Windows partition. Now, when I install Crossover on Ubuntu, is it possible to use the same product key, or do I have to purchase another copy of Office?

I'm willing to uninstall office on my windows partition, it's just that I want to make sure that I can use the same product key...

That is a question about licenses, you may read the license agreement in Office 2007, however as far as I know it is one license per computer, so you can use the same product key in ubuntu without breaking the law as it is in the same computer

Theoretically "it is one license per computer",
which means that you could have any number of O/Ss on one computer,
& M$O installed on all of them.

that would also include any number of M$_win O/Ss installed, on the same computer.
