Serveral months ago I purchased Viual Studio 2003 Professional and installed
it on my machine

Recently i purchased a mobile computer, i want to install Visual Studio on
that computer so that i can use visual studio while i'm away from my machine

I can't find the License agreement for Visual Studio otherwise i would read
it to check for myself

does anyone know if i would be breaking my license agreement by installing
visual studio on my mobile computer while it is already installed on my
other computer?

i am the only person who will be using visual studio on either computer

thanks

The license agreement is, of course, on your disk. (EULA.txt)

I believe that developer licenses are *developer* connected, and not limited
to installation on one device.

1.4 Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the
Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to install
or run the Software on computers used by licensed end users in accordance
with Section 1.1. A single license for the Software may not be shared or
used concurrently by multiple end users.

Near as I can figure from the EULA that came with mine, an individual is
allowed to make any installations as he/she needs to
design/develop/test/demonstrate software products, providing that the
individual is the only person using it.

If the copy of VS belongs to an organization, it can make as many
installations as it needs as long as there is a licence for each individual
that uses it.

So you could install it on as many machines as you want, but you're the only
one who's allowed to use any of those installations.
