That is pirated, illegal software.
: In doing various searches online I found someone who can offer me an "ISO
: Administrative Copy"....he explains:
:
: "it's an 'administrative copy', therefore no
: limit on the number of installations - it doesn't need a cd key to
install,
: it can be installed using whatever user name you want and will accept
: updates for as long as they are available."
:
: This seems highly shady to me, does anyone know about "Administrative
: Copies" of MS Office? Is there such a thing (legally) or is this pirated
: software that he's trying to sell me?
:
: I'm leaning against this option as my instincts are telling me stay
away...
