You don't "own" the program. You only purchase the right to use it on a
computer.

If that version of Office came on your old computer then you cannot run it
on another computer. That's why it's cheaper than if you go to your local
software retailer and purchase it. Once the old computer dies, so does that
copy of Office. Once you buy a retail version you can transfer the
registration from one computer to the next to the next, etc.

hello,

I still have my original MS Office 97 Small Business edition...
I have the Windows Xp Home Edition, Version 2002
but I don't have any new MS Office program, such World, Excell, etc.
so...
Right now I have not the money to buy the new version(s)...
Can I still install my original 1997 Word Office to my pc not matter the
old
it is?
It's LEGAL? I am the owner of that CD-ROM when I bought my first pc in
1997.

I need Word to build my page, etc.

Please, your opinions.

Thanks,

Pedro
