Default Word Product Key

I know it wasn't the answer you were hoping for. For what it's worth,
Amazon.com has great prices on software.

Thanks!

No. When Word (Office, Works, Works Suite, etc) comes with a computer,
you've paid less than full price for it. Because of that, the license is
tied to that one computer. If you want a license that you can transfer
from
one computer to another, you must buy a retail version.

JoAnn,

Thanks for your prompt response. It did come with the old cumpeter.
Is
there a way for me to "unregister" this copy and use it on another
computer?

Thanks
