For example, for Win XP, OEM versions are tied down
to the first motherboard/PC that they are installed on and Office works the same as I know it.
The install Office twice scenario is one where you have it on a home PC and can also install it on a laptop, not to be used concurrently.
If the OEM was installed/purchased on a laptop to begin with, I am not sure that applies. But, I do not know for sure.

Activation Successful!!!
I'm not sure what happened or didn't happen, but I am VERY happy.
