Frontape 2003 activation - in 2011

[rulerrock]

I just bought Frontpage 2003 on Ebay- seller assures me the software has been
deleted, but had been activated. I bought FP to use in the future on a new
computer that I plan to buy in 2011 - so I do not want to activate the
software now, but probably in 2011. Since Microsoft is discontinuing support
to FP, 1) will I be able to activate the FP software in a year or 2- and 2)
if I use the telephone activation, can I "delete" the "old" activation and
get 2 new activations on my computers without a problem. I'm hesitant to to
try to activate the software now on my current computer since I really want
to use it on the new computer next year and if I only get 1 activation I
don't want to mess myself up.

You may not be able to activate it at all
- the EULA does not allow sale/transfer of the license once used

Why not call Microsoft Support directly instead of soliciting opinions from
this peer discussion group? Go to the source!

Any particular reason for staying with FrontPage, since the extensions are no
longer supported and you have to do major cleanup on the HTML?

I am interested in any GOOD reason, since I still own FrontPage 2000 but use
it merely for layouts...

One reason would be familiarity. After all, you don't have to use the extensions to
use FP.

I moved to SharePoint Designer however. It's a little more oriented toward CSS.
