Licenses

[beerdini]

We just purchased an office 2003 license to cover everyone that works
at my company. My question is until now we purchased licenses
individually so what can we do with all of our old licenses that we no
longer need or use? I'd hate to just dump them, we probably have a few
thousand that we spent in these old licenses. Does Microsoft or
another company offer some sort of program or discount to reclaim these
old licenses that owners no longer want? What are some things that
anyone out there have come across or done yourself?

Thanks

Read the EULA first. If you can transfer the licenses, donate them to a
non-profit group. They are usually operating on limited funds.

If you purchased an *upgrade* you have to keep the old licenses.

(I have all of my old software because some of it is OEM, and the rest is
still being used here at home.)
