Access License and useing older versions

[Guest]

Where I work I can only purchase Access 2007 licenses at this time, can I
chose to install and use access 2003 if I want? Will I be legal. All my
scripts where written and test in 2003 and Now I have a need for another
machine to process more data and so I have to order the newer version's
license (2007).

Thanks
Matt

Could someone please answer this question? I have the same issue in that I am
only permitted to purchase Office 2007, but our IT department has not yet
certified 2007 for use in the corporation, so I would need to use office 2003
for the next 2 months.

You will need to ask someone at Microsoft. Despite the fact that Microsoft
hosts this website, the vast majority of the people who answer questions here
are not Microsoft employees; we're volunteers, working other jobs, retired, or
whatever. Even the few Softies who post are probably developers or testers,
not from the legal department.

Good luck.

I talked to a Dell representative and was informed that I would be leagal.
Even better was the new 2007 license would activate the older version like
Access 2003 and Access 2000 and when the day came that out IT department
allows the use of Access 2007 then I could just unistall Access 2000 and
install Access 2007 and be legal.

I got my 2007 license and a new pc at work, I installed my older Access 2000
and for some reason it didn't ask for the license so I can't validated that
part about using the New license on an older version.

If anyone here gets a chance to try this please reply back, I'd like to know
the results for future reference.

I hope this helps.
