Users?

[Guest]

I find this Group and the individuals participating in it, very, very nice
and helpfull. thank you. Now I am probably going to sound very dumb but
please, bare with me.

I own the computer and programs but I am a Family man who shares the
computer with my Family. I am the individual who uses the computer the most.
My mother, a senior citizen, very rarely uses the computer but I do try to
get her to learn and use it. I have other family members across Canada and I
try to get my mother to correspond; e-mail, video clips, etc.
I also have a daughter who is only with me every couple of weeks,f or the
week-end or hoildays.

Here is my Question, "Do they have to be registered Users?"

I am the Registered user/Owner of Windows XP Home Edition and Microsoft
Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003.

I purchased that program hoping to assist my daughter in her academic
education. I am of the understanding that there is three licsense with
purchasing the office CD mentioned above.

I ask, wondering if because of the different individuals using the computer,
Am I defaulting on those "Eula" agreemnets one has to Accept when installing
the programs?

Thanks again for your time, patients and understanding.

No, there is one Registered user - ie you, who owns the licence to use the
Software. You can set up as many users on your computer (Control Panel-User
Accounts) as you like. These are purely COMPUTER Users and do not own the
Licence for the software.

The EULA for Office Student and Teacher edition allows you to install the
software on three SEPARATE machines, all three of which (AFAIK) must be
located in the same home, irrespective of the numbers of Computer users on
each machine.

HTH!

Sorry, but my wife permits me to bare only with her. ;-)

No, neither they, you, nor anybody else needs to be a registered user.
Registration is completely optional, and is used by Microsoft only for
marketing purposes.

It's only activation, not registration, that is manditory. and that ties the
software to the hardware, not the person.
