Move Publisher 2000 to a new computer

[DoorLady]

How do I move Publisher 2000 from an old machine (running Win982nd) to a new
computer (running WinXP) since it has already been activated on the old
machine?

I should have done this myself but called MS Publisher help. They walked me
through the installation and activation but told me to click on "Office"
instead of "Publisher" during the suggested custom installation, now I have
too sets of "Office Tools" Version 2003 and 2003. I suspect that will cause
some problems in the future. what do I do now?

Each version of Office, or product from a version of Office, that you
install will have a set of Office Tools for that Office version.

e.g. If you install Publisher 2000, FrontPage 2002 and Office 2003, you will
get Office Tools for Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003.
These should not conflict with each other in any way, and it's safe to leave
them there.

Only when it comes to my age - or weight. ;-) (Okay, even then, when push
comes to shove, I'll admit both.)

I *try* to live a legal life. Especially with computers and software. I
don't download music, never have. I have licenses for all of my software.
Have I always? No, but then I got more involved with copyright issues in
another area. I realized that violating copyright or EULA regs is theft. It
could be said that Bill G really doesn't need the 57¢ that he makes off of
the sale of a single copy of Office. (I don't know how much her personally
makes, I'm just pulling a number out of my ear.) Unfortunately it's not just
ONE person doing this - it's thousands and thousands. At what point does it
cross from "not nice to bend the rules" to theft of intellectual property?

This doesn't mean I'm "holier than thou". Believe me, I am a (very) flawed
human being. I just think that it's not up to me to tell people how to bend
the rules. Especially with a Microsoft product - and my position as an MVP.

Face it JoAnn, there are only two saintly people left on earth, thee and
me
and one's a fibber.;-)

There is no physical limit on how many computers you can put Publisher
2000
on, only a legal, moral limit of one computer station and one portable
computer.
