I have two PCs at home, and purchased two retail copies of Works Suite
2003 which includes Word.
Word needed to be "activated" to continue use, however I have partitioned
one PC to enable a dual boot WinME and WinXP.
Reading through the EULA, I can't find anything to cover installing Word
twice on the same PC, let alone what happens when trying to "activate" an
already activated copy.
I also own Works Suite 99, but not sure if it runs OK on WinXP.
Any takers, or suggestions ? :-)

Hi Sunny,

The Eula says:

. Applications Software. You may install, use, access, display, run, or otherwise
interact with ("RUN")
*** --- one --- ***
copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, or any prior version for the same operating system,
on a single
computer, workstation, terminal, handheld PC, pager, "smart phone," or other
digital electronic device
("COMPUTER"). The primary user of the COMPUTER on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is
installed may make a second copy for his or her exclusive use on a portable
computer.

Works 99 can run on WinXP.

HTH,

Thanks Kevin, looks like I will use Works 99, or Works 2003 on my <cough>
"portable" XP computer.
(so I can read doc files etc from both ME and XP)
