| 81896 | 2002-09-22 02:21:00 | I have, after reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling my OS, also attempted to reinstall MS Office 2000. However when I try to register it again - if I don't register it it will only work 50 times (right?) -I get the message back that ' this product is already registered on another computer' (or something to this effect). How can I get around this dilemma. Under the terms of the license, as I understand it, I can only install the product on one desktop computer but I can install it on my laptop (right?). If I don't own a laptop can I install on another desktop pc and pretend its my laptop. Can Microsoft be fooled in this way? would be v.grateful for some-one's help on these matters esp that of registering again.:-) Trikitiki |

| 81898 | 2002-09-22 02:50:00 | If you have a retail copy of Office (Not an OEM version) I believe that you are permitted to instal it on both your desktop and your laptop provided that they both have the same primary user. I've got mine setup this way and had no problems with registering with Microsoft. The installation key that you get with your disks allows 2 installations only. After that you must ring Microsoft for a new key. |
