wish I wuz smart! - 10 May 2008 20:57 GMT
I have a copy of Word 2002.  The computer it was on died and is long gone.  I
want to install it on another machine.  I have the CD and the code.  What do
I need to do?

Thanks,
Susan

If it came with the old computer, you can't install it on a new one.

If it didn't, insert the CD and follow the directions.

JoAnn,

Thanks for your prompt response.  It did come with the old cumpeter.  Is
there a way for me to "unregister" this copy and use it on another computer?

Thanks

No. When Word (Office, Works, Works Suite, etc) comes with a computer,
you've paid less than full price for it. Because of that, the license is
tied to that one computer. If you want a license that you can transfer from
one computer to another, you must buy a retail version.

I know it wasn't the answer you were hoping for. For what it's worth,
Amazon.com has great prices on software.
