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.

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

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

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.

Look, you're wrong. If you had read my original post, you'd see that
certain features, such as clicking on the Outlook icon, requested the
"Office 2000 Standard" CD. This was a CD install.

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.

As I had already written, Licenses and EULAs bind the SELLER. It does NOT
bind the buyer.

What you are describing is called a lien, which applies only to real
property. While a lien can be applied to computer hardware, one cannot apply
a lien to software.

While I am not an attorney, I've found that when dealing with business
software, one needs to understand the legalities of software (especially
when it comes to emails). A competant computer expert must know more than
how to edit the registry - competant computer experts must understand the
legal questions as well.

To say it another way, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse".
