You can install from the same disk using the same number on a thousand Macs
& run Office on them all at the same time *if* they aren't networked.
There
is nothing in Office to prevent you from doing so - one Mac doesn't have
any
way of knowing what the others are doing. However, it is a Violation of
the
EULA to do so.
If the systems *are* on the same network the programs send out a "feeler"
on
launch & if the same license is found to be already in use the app will
refuse to launch. My guess would be that the systems weren't networked
previously, now they are.
