Will the Beta version be "licensed" to just one machine even though it's free??
I use CEEDO and must use Office enterprise that is not tied to one
particular machine.

For those new to CEEDO: It is a virtual operating system that runs from a
USB drive and uses the services and drivers from the host machine. Every
time it is connected to a different machine the Office suite sees that
machine's identifier. With anything but enterprise the Office suite acts as
if it has been installed on a different host. And of course won't run.

I don't know the specifics about your environment but I'd imagine part of
what is being tested with Office 2010 is the various anti-piracy/licensing
schemes. If it's intended that the released version of O2010 will somehow
only run on the intended number of machines, that functionality will be
built into the beta code already.
