Can Microsoft Office 2003 be installed on more than 3 home computers with the same CD key?
Will they send black helicopters to my house? Will my computer explode?

LEGALLY you can not install on more computers than what your EULA covers.
Microsoft keeps a database with each activation so they can control the number of times a license key has been used. refer to my first post.

unless you have the student/teacher version, the license is one key per machine.
You'll have to activate it to use it beyond some number of days, so installing it and not activating it isn't really an option. One option - if anyone in your family is a student, you may be able to buy the student version through the institution at a greatly reduced rate. If they are college students, see if they have access to MSDNAA materials. |

Not completely true, you need to look at the EULA, some allow for installation on more than one computer. Look at the EULA for your Office product to confirm your allowed number of installs. |

Sounds like it's what you want. Other editions allow multiple installs (laptop, desktop) but not multiple users. |

Then again, OpenOffice may be able to substitute. If you mostly just use Word and Excel, it's easy.
