Thanks for your help.

I have also found sellers on eBay using the following statement inorder
to sell OEM software.

"In order to comply with eBay's & Microsoft's Software Regulations,
this purchase will include an untested, non-warranted, piece of
hardware at no additional cost to the buyer."

But I looked at Microsofts EULA and they said that the hardware must
include a power source, hardrive, motherboard, case, etc....

How does eBay (or Microsoft) let these sellers get away with selling
under these pretences?

FWIW, technically Microsoft always is the only 'owner' of MS Office software. What you are purchasing, along with the media (CDs)
is a 'license to use' a copy of MS Office.

For MS Open Business and MS Open Volume programs there are links to authorized sellers on this page
http://microsoft.com/licensing/programs/open/default.mspx

For questions on the MS Open license program you can phone the Microsoft folks (if you're in the U.S) at the numbers on
http://microsoft.com/licensing/contact/default.mspx

I have a company with 5+ computers and I want to upgrade to Excel 2003.
In searching for the best price I found a company offering them as part
of an "Open Vollume License". As I want to be compliant with MS I
asked if I was the legal owner and the vender said no, they were the
legal owner but I get the key to legally use it. It looks like they do
alot of business this way and I was wondering if this is MS compliant.

Thanks in advance.>>
