Print a copy of the End-User License Agreement

[RScotti]

Hi,
I want to Print a copy of the MS Word/Office XP End-User License Agreement but since I already installed it I don't
think I can't get it off the CD.
I did search in the help and it went to a license agreement but it was for the MS Office online service.
Can some please tell me where I can get this to print it out?

Have a good day,
RScotti

I have Word 2003 so maybe it's the same thing for XP.

Help - About Word - View the End User License Agreement - Hit the print
button.

Sorry,
It's different only has a large paragraph on some copyrights, System info, Tech support and disabled items.
The only way I know I can get it is to uninstall/reinstall. Than it will be there and should be able to print it.
I was hoping the was a MS site that would have it.

Not for an older version. It's there for 2003.

It's in your system somewhere. I thought it was in the Help file. Like I
said, I use 2003 so I can't check.

Do you have a specific question? Perhaps someone can help you with it.

Yes,
I want documentation showing the you can't use MS Office/Word on two computers.
Maybe you can copy/paste it and send the whole document to my email address if you don't want to put it here.
Just take out the nospam.
I think you can use it on a desktop and a notebook that you own at the same time but that's it.

OEM or full retail? Makes a difference.

Hi JoAnn,
This is the statement that I am trying to prove is wrong:

"it's perfectly legal for someone to have multiple installations of the same piece of software on different computers
as long as only one instance is in use at any given time."

Not for an older version. It's there for 2003.

If it's a full retail version, it can be run on one desktop and one laptop.
If it's OEM, it's limited to the original system. If it's the Student and
Teacher Edition, I think it's limited to one system. If it's Home Use, you'd
need to talk to your employer.

As you can tell, there is more than one version of the OEM. Without
specifics, that's about the best I can do to help you.

According to one Web site, open Help and look in the Contents. But you could
try going to http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/default.aspx and
inputting your exact SKU and version.

FWIW, all retail versions of Office allow you to activate the software on
one desktop and one laptop, assumed to be owned by the same person and not
used simultaneously. OEM versions are licensed for only one machine; see
"Cannot activate OEM edition more than once in Office XP" at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=300273. This KB article also says: "The
Oemeula.txt file is contained in the Office1.cab file on the root of an
Office XP CD-ROM. You can extract Oemeula.txt from the Office1.cab cabinet
file in order to open it in a text editor." Presumably the retail EULA is
located similarly.

Full retail.MS Office Professional XP
PS. I should have Office 2000 but I have XP. The reason I say that is because I got this when I was a beta tester for
the Office and I stopped around 2000 yet the box does say XP.
I really can't understand how this happened?

Hi,
Thanks for your help Susan.
I really can't remember how to extract Cab files? It's been 6 years.

Thanks for your help also.
Since we are talking about a full retail I gave the right information to them.

WinZip should be able to handle it (and actually I think Windows XP can do
this).

Hi Susanne,
Thanks again,
It looks like my license does not permit a second "portable device" in my Office XP.
This is from that Oemeula.txt.
I don't understand why I have an OEM file on my retail version?
Any Ideas?

If it's really retail, then the OEM EULA wouldn't apply. Possibly both EULAs
are on every CD?

I thought the XP version was limited to one? I know that 2003 allows three.

Oh well, not an issue for this poster.
