MS Office 2003 two laptops

I think I am asking the question correctly:

If I purchase Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business Full Version OEM
from a retailer and install it on my current (old - XP Pro) laptop, and then need to install it again on my new laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) which I will purchase in 1-2 months, is there any problem? Will it be "genuine, valid, legal, etc" on the new machine??

Hi jlindync,

AFAIK, OEM editions cannot be purchased legally as a separate item and can only be used on the hardware on which they were originally installed.
