Questions about Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024 (DE)

The licence for Office Home & Business 2024 (DE) (1 user, unlimited) allows installation on one device. The licence is not intended for use on multiple devices (e.g. PC and laptop at the same time) - you would have to purchase the package separately for each additional device. If you buy a new PC in 2 years, you can install the software on the new device, but you must first deactivate it from the old device, as the licence is only valid for one active device[^1^]. For three devices (PC, laptop + new PC) you would need three separate licences if you want to use them all at the same time. [^1^]: Although not explicitly mentioned in the sources, this is standard practice for single device licences. The official sources confirm that the licence is only valid for one device, without mentioning exceptions for device changes. Note: For multi-device use, Microsoft itself recommends Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

The licence for Office Home & Business 2024 is intended for one user on one computer. If multiple users are working on the same PC, the software will not be automatically activated for each user account. You would either need to purchase a separate licence for each user or consider another licence option such as Microsoft 365 Family that supports multiple users. There is no official way to transfer the licence to multiple user accounts on the same PC without purchasing an additional licence.
