I am looking to purchase approximately 5 licenses of the new version of Office 2010 for a small business. The main software used is Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Home and Student version comes with the above and covers 3 computers in a single "home". Cost approx £80 per copy so i would need 2 of these.

The other option is Home and Business which is 1 license per computer and would cost approx £150 per copy would need 5 copies.

So as you can see there is a *massive* cost difference. Is there anything legally wrong with using "Home & Student" edition for a Small Business if it covers our needs?
