Read the EULA - Microsoft gives you the right to sell your program but I
believe that it prohibits a second sale by the person to whom you sell it.

| Don,
|
| Thanks for your reply... So Microsoft are Ok with people
| selling the software to eachother, as long as its not in
| use on any other machine when I activate it? ... It wont
| be a problem that its a totally different system? I mean,
| if I have to ring up, am I ok to say I bought it from my
| friend, or will they hang up at that point? I am just
| paranoid that I will end up with an expensive drinks
| coaster! I do know for a fact that he doesnt have it
| installed any more, as I checked myself!
|
| Thanks for any help...

|| ||| Hi

||| I have trawled through the Microsoft site trying to find

|||
||| If I purchase a copy of Office XP 2002 from a friend, will
||| I be able to activate and licence the product OK? Its
||| retail, not an OEM version, and he no longer has it on his
||| system (or any other PC)...
|||
||| Thanks for any help, or pointers where I can find out this
||| info.

||
|| If full retail version of Office XP, you will not have a problem
|| installing and activating. If the internet option does not work,
|| just use the telephone option.
||
|| If upgrade retail version of Office XP, you must receive the
|| qualifying product your friend used as it is part of the license for
|| an Office XP upgrade and are needed to install. Then, as above.
|| Exception: you do need a qualifying product from your friend if you
|| own a copy of Office 97 or Office 2000 to use as your qualifying
|| product.
