I have an old copy of Outlook 2000 that I'm not using. I would like to give
it to a friend of mine. Can he use and register the product, since it's
currently registered in my name? If not, can I "unregister" this version?

I didn't upgrade it...my new computer came with a full version of Office
2003. So I'm not trying to break the law, but I don't want to make things
difficult for him if he tries to use it.

I don't remember that Outlook 2000 has product activation. You can just
uninstall Outlook 2000 from your machine. He or she should not have
problem installing and using Outlook 2000.

Outlook 2000 doesn't have a product registration. As long as you give this
person the Certificate of Authenticity AND Outlook's license was a retail,
not an OEM license, it's legal. If it is an OEM license (i.e., it came with
your PC or with a PDA you purchased from a company like Dell or Gateway),
then it's not legal. OEM licenses are tied to the hardware they came with.
