Can I make a second copy of Microsoft Office for Windows for my portable computer?
The End User License Agreements for many Microsoft application products contain the following sentence in the grant of license section:

"The primary user of the computer on which the Software Product is installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use on a portable computer." If your EULA does not contain this sentence, then you may not make a second copy of the software. If your EULA contains this sentence, then, subject to the conditions stated in the EULA, you may make one copy of the software for installation on your portable computer but not on both. The "primary user" is the individual using the computer most of the time it is in use. Only that individual is entitled to use the second copy. Further, the software must be installed on the local hard drive of your computer; you are not entitled to make and use a second copy on your portable computer if you run the primary copy of the software from a network server. Finally, only one secondary copy may be made; you may not install this copy on more than one portable computer.

Can I make a second copy of my operating system software, such as Windows 98, for my home, work or portable computer?
No. The right to make a second copy of a Microsoft software product only applies to some application products and not to operating system software.
