Office expiring?

B

Brett Overseas

I just got a new computer. I uninstalled the MS-Office trial version that
was installed because I purchased a copy of the Student/Teacher edition. I
installed the version I had, but when I started Word, I was asked to activate
my copy and informed I had 49 days of Office use remaining, even though I
bought the product. What's the deal? Will my store-bought copy of Office
expire? The Student/Teacher edition gives you installation rights on three
machines - I 'd prefer not to have to reinstall on this machine.

Brett,

Yes. Part of the new "anti-piracy" program is that you MUST register the
program. It will take some information from the system, and thus allow MS to
track if that program is subsequently loaded on another system.

Read the liscense agreement for the Student-Teacher edition very closely. I
think you are covered for more than one system in a single family with a
single purchase. If so you are covered to load it on other systems in the
house.

Not quite correct - registration is entirely voluntary. The OP needs to
Activate the program. The 2003 STE allows for 3 installs, any combination.
