Hi there,

I have an HTC TyTN II.
I have one laptop (windows XP) at home, and another laptop (also
windows XP) in the office premise

I want to sync the following:
Calendar
Contacts
Notes
(I don't need to sync my e-mails)

Questions:
1)
Do I need to buy Outlook and install in my home laptop?

2)
If I don't want to buy Outlook, any other FREE desktop software that I
can use to house my
Calendar
Contacts
Notes

3)
If I buy Outlook, can I install it into both TWO laptops (1 for my
home, 1 for my office premise)

Thanks a lot.

AS only works with Outlook, so that is likely what you need. There are third
party sync extensions for AS and XP that will let you use other PIM
programs, but you have to buy them and likely the PIM program as well.

As far as installing Outlook on your primary machine (office) and your
portable machine (home), here is an extract from the Outlook EULA (end user
license agreement)

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a
license, you must assign that license to one device. That device is the
"licensed device." A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a
separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install and use one copy of the software on the
licensed device.
b. Portable Device. You may install another copy on a portable device for
use by the single primary user of the licensed device.
