Hi,
Back when Office XP Professional came out I was going through a divorce and moved to a one room apartment with no room
for my computer.Since I was not using my Office I let my cousin install it (under MY name on her computer)_with the
agreement that when I get my new computer she would uninstall it.Well I finally got my computer last year and asked her
to do that but she won't uninstall my Office XP.I have asked her several times.
From what I remember the license said it could be installed on only one desktop and a notebook AND the desktop &
notebook have to belong to the same person.and since she has it installed I can't legally use it on my computer.

Question:
Is there any way I can have MS disable her copy so I can install it?
I have the installation disks so she can't even put SP3 on because of that.

No, you cannot force her hand in this matter. You can try to install it on
your computer but you may have to use the telephone activation and explain
the situation to a human being.

Evetually her computer will die and she'll be out of luck at that point.

Thanks. Her computer is about five years old it originally had XP SP1 on it and I am hoping some of her system files get
corrupted and has to do a clean install but it has not happened. I guess XP is pretty stable.
I do have Vista with Office 2007 but it's the principle. Office XP Pro.was about $500.

I understand but obviously familial ties and ethics mean less to your cousin
than they do to you. You'll drive yourself crazy if you dwell on it. Keep on
working with Office 2007 and *don't share your software with anyone else*.

Thanks. But it just bothers me that she would do that to me.

Would it bother her if you took her to Small Claims Court (assuming
you're in the US)?
