It depends on the version he purchased.

Standard/Business version has 1 CD key
Home & Student has 3 CD keys

Each Product Key represents a separate license to use Office 2008.

Each license entitles you to install on 1 "desktop" + 1 "portable" Mac.
The restriction is that you are not permitted to use any of the Office
programs on more than 1 of the 2 systems at the same time. If both Macs
are on the same network you will be physically prevented from launching
an Office program on the second Mac if any Office program is running on
the other.

In total, the 3 licenses (Product Keys) for Home & Student enables you
to install on 6 separate Macs... Theoretically that means 2 Macs for
each of 3 users or individuals.
