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


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?

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.

Tony,

My understanding is that Office 2000 removal (patching or any other
maintenance) requires the original source media to be available, so it may
be that your source installation was on the hard drive and not on CD. That
said, I'm very glad it uninstalled for you.

I am not an attorney, so I cannot answer your legal question. However, as a
consumer, if I purchased a computer with pre-installed software, if I
expected to take over ownership of the licenses, I would require the seller
to give me the CDs, especially for software that is no longer available
through normal retail channels. Otherwise, the seller could continue to
install copies of the software and sell it to other unsuspecting folks.
Apparently this didn't happen in your case, and I'm very happy for you.

So glad you worked out the issue, and I sincerely hope you have no further
issues with Office.

Wulf, you are correct. However, that binds the SELLER, not the buyer.

I'm not saying it's right, or fair, however.
