!) Download, eh? Sorry, we don't assist thieves. Oh, I see, you meant
'install'. Well, why didn't you say so? Suggest you learn the difference if
you don't want to be accused of being something you're not.

2) Suggest you also learn the difference between 'registration' and
'activation'. There is no such thing as a "registration key" - and, before
anyone says anything, I'm well aware she said "Office 2000" but the later
versions (those which included SP1) did require activation.

3) If Office came with your old computer you may *NOT* install it on your
new one - an OEM licence is tied forever to the system it was sold with (or
first installed on in the case of licences sold with an item of
non-peripheral hardware). Retail licences may be installed on one desktop
and one laptop, provided that: -

a) It's for the sole use of the primary licencee

and

b) It will not be in simultaneous use

OEM versions:

-- cannot upgrade
-- cannot be transferred to a different computer in the future
-- the license cannot be sold or transferred to another user
-- are not eligible for free Microsoft technical support
-- cost less than "retail versions" due to the above limitations

Retail versions:

-- can upgrade (though this does *NOT* apply to student versions, nor can
you use an upgrade to perform 'crossgrades' that is 'upgrading' between
versions in the same product line)
-- can be transferred to a different computer in the future
-- the license can be sold or transferred to another user
-- are eligible for free Microsoft technical support
-- cost more than "OEM versions" due to the above capabilities

For your information I bought this edition of Office 2000 Professional at our
local Community College when I was enrolled there...Also, it asks me for the
product code not an "activation code" You did not have to be so snippy...and
I don't appreciate being accused of being a "thief" just because I am not
stating myself in the appropriate computer terms...

For your information I bought this edition of Office 2000
Professional at our local Community College when I was enrolled
there...Also, it asks me for the product code not an "activation
code" You did not have to be so snippy...and I don't appreciate
being accused of being a "thief" just because I am not stating myself
in the appropriate computer terms...

1) I never accused you of being anything, but you *WILL* be accused of
piracy if you don't use the correct terminology. Downloading is what you do
from a network (e.g. the internet) *NOT* what you do when copying software
from a CD to your hard disk.

2) You have an Academic licence. There are strict rules regarding the use
of Academic licences, the main one being that your eligibility for the
licence terminates when you cease to be a student.

3) If it /had/ been a working licence you'd have been SOL as MS
terminated all support for Office 2000 nearly a year ago (30th June 2004).

4) It asked you for an installation key - the product code (ID) is
something entirely different.

5) Depending on the version, it may very well have also been an
activation key, I don't know. As I stated before, those versions that
contained SP1 /did/ require activation.

In short, if you want Office on your new computer, you'd need to purchase
the full version of 2003 in whatever flavour you desired.
