'Commercial' use

S

student_biz

I have a copy of microsoft office 2003 student and teacher's edition. I know
I cannot use it for 'commercial' use. I am a university student.

Once I want to sell my old text book but didn't know wether I should create
the advertisment with the microsoft word I have since selling should be
considered commercial. Is this true?

How if I want to sell things through ebay (like old handphone) at the same
computer where my student edition is installed?

If I join a home base business and use my student copy to aid me, would it
be legal?

If I give some paid consultation as a 'knowledge-economy' activity and use
my student copy, would it be legal?

I think you've been thinking about this a bit too much. Yes, you can create
an ad to sell your books. Yes, you can sell eBay items. The other two items
are getting into a different situation and my first thought is that if you
are engaged in a business. then no, you can't.

Read your EULA and see if that helps you.

If I were you, I'd call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to
6:00 P.M. (Pacific time)
and ask to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. Worldwide
customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find
contact information in their locations.

I've called them and have had good luck speaking with a real person for
free.
