I have recently purchased and installed Office X on my iMac (did not
register yet) I would like to know if I can also install same on my
new G5 and register at that time? I can uninstall from iMac if
required. Can I do 2 desktops in lieu of a desktop and a laptop?

Unfortunately installing Office X on two desktops is prohibited by the terms
of the EULA, and many people have posted here regarding the fact that on
many occasions doing this prevents the application from launching. You'll
need to uninstall the software from one of the desktop machines.
You have no limitations on product registration, as that's not part of the
EULA. You'll be able to register after installing Office X on the G5.

I just purchased the Office Student/Teacher edition,and it comes with three
license keys. That was the final incentive to pay for Office, 3 copies for
$150. Yes, I am a part time student, but at no time was I asked to provide
any proof of that.

Well, you're a student. So you can put Office X on three desktops and three
laptops if you use a different license key for each pair.
