Here is a link to general information about the EULA agreements:

Sorry but there is no public resource that allows you to view the EULAs
before purchase. If you have a specific presales question please feel free
to call 800-426-9400 for assistance.

You CANNOT make a duplicate copy of Office for your portable computer when
it comes 'pre-installed' on the system.

>From the Office XP Pro Retail License

install and use one copy of the Software Product on a single computer,
device, workstation, terminal, or other digital electronic or analog device
("Device"). You may make a second copy of the Software Product and install
it on a portable Device for the exclusive use of the person who is the
primary user of the first copy of the Software Product. A license for the
Software Product may not be shared. "

>From Encarta Reference Library 2001Retail License
