Office 2000 Install on Used Computer

[Tony]

I just picked up a used WinXP computer that's got part of Office 2000
installed. It's got Word, PowerPoint, and Excel 2000. It's also got
Publisher 97 or 98 (I'm not near the computer right now, I can't remember)

This computer will not be connected to the internet.

When I click on the Outlook icon, it asks for a "Office 2000 Standard" CD.
When I put in my Office 2000 Professional CD, it refuses to install or even
recognize the CD.

What gives? Should I just uninstall the existing Office components and do a
new Office 2000 install? Or can I get it to recognize my Office 2000
Professional CD?

Thanks!

Tony

Hi, Tony,

Unfortunately, you will need the original CD to remove Office 2000 Standard,
then install Office 2000 Pro. Can you get the CD from the seller? You
should also get a Windows XP CD, if you have legally acquired the licenses
for both.

Depending on your situation, you may want to reformat the system, install
your own clean OS and software that you are licensed for.

Thanks, but your information is totally WRONG.

After reading your post, I uninstalled Office 2000 Standard, as well as
successfully uninstalled Publisher 98, from Add/Remove programs. With a 2GHz
processor it was refreshingly quick and easy.

The original CD was never asked for. I checked the proper Office 2000
directories & they are mostly clean.

Depending on your situation, you may want to reformat the system, install
your own clean OS and software that you are licensed for.

I'm afraid, Susan, you've already proven you are uniquely unqualified to
comment on my situation. Now you are being ridiculous and argumentative.

Check the law. Doesn't purchasing ownership of a computer gives the new
owner ALL LEGAL RIGHTS to the installed software? Haven't I purchased
property without needing to agree to a EULA? Doesn't the purchase give me
ownership WITHOUT encunberance or hinderance?

Please don't make things up.

Tony.

the law says that you may not transfer licenses as mentioned by the
EULA, as the "product" consists of theSoftware AND the nice little
license sticker.
both make it work.

personal comment: whatever you take to make you that aggressive, i
don't want any of it.
