443341 2006-04-03 05:37:00 I bought (DSE) a Works Suite 2005 about 10 months ago including Word and installed it and activated it. Now wife has a new computer and wants Word installed which I did. She now has about 20 more times to go before it stops working. Is there some way I can get/buy a license from MS to use this second Word installation, or do I have to buy an entire Word program for her? Neptune83 (10023)
443342 2006-04-03 06:07:00 You will have to buy another version of Word for the licence, whether it is included with Works, MS Office or stand alone.

A good alternative is to get Open Office, which is a free office suite compatible with Word, etc. It is available on some of the PC World CDs or you can download it from their website. It is around 70MB or so.
