I will have 3 laptops, 1 Image server (mirroring). 2 of the Laptops are ( ahem Gateway M-1622 Laptops) and one is a Toshiba L755-S5368 Laptop. The two Gateways are identical both the the same motherboard and memory configuration. Now to the question, if I install Office 2013 Professional Plus on one of the gateways Mirror it and activate it. Will Office complain if I try to activate the other one? Or do I have to have a new key for it? Will it not be activated and life is bliss? I will be using acronis to do the mirroring! If I have another key is there a way to put all the keys in Office and allow it to choose which one to use thru a batch file? John
