    Microsoft office 2007 Professional Boxed Retail, on two devices. One is meant to be a desktop and one the laptop though.

    Microsoft office 2007 Professional OEM, only allowed on the original device.

    The microsoft approved official method for licensing a household is to buy MS office home and student edition, which allows for 3 simultaneous device installs for non-commercial use.
    Other than that, for your situation, Microsoft want crazy amounts of money.

    OpenOffice.Org.

    9/10 it'll do exactly the same job quite happily. It has PDF export support. And you dont have to worry about it randomly taking the Guatanamo Bay appraoch to anti-piracy.

    Microsoft OEM can NOT be used or even moved to a second PC, it lives and dies with the mother board. This also applies if you upgrade an OEM with a retail upgrade !

    you can use a trial version of office 2007 for 60 days free

    in general read the eula that comes with the product microsoft like to change terms between versions


    Full Retail version (or where you upgrade a transferable license)
    2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the “licensed device.” A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.
    a. Licensed Device. You may install and use one copy of the software on the licensed device.
    b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable device for use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
    cba looking it up but IIRC only of the two copies can be run at the same time
