Office XP

[BUMTY]

Could any one tell me, if Office XP has to be registered on line in the same manner as Windows XP.

Thanks in advance BUMTY

Yep.
It activates in the same manner.

Thanks Inanis - that rules out buying that then.

I bought a copy for $5 from Purdue, $5 any MS software there if you are a student, I isntalled it after this last format and it wanted me to get that damn code. I hadn't seen this before with the products purdue has so I was surprised. Needless to say I junked that guy and put office 2k pro back on, another $5 investment

krohnjw, that confirms my earlier decision was correct then, but you said $5 - man thats cheap, compared to what you would have to pay in the UK.

You'll find M$ has special deals all round the world at present for students. You should check with your local M$ site to see what info you can find. I know they were selling almost anything even to parents of kindergarten childeren at so-called "academic" prices recently.

I think it is a way to inflitrate M$ software into even more homes. Think I'm a bit cynical??

Cinical? - i would say shrewd, and Honest.

Is there a corporate version of Office XP similar to Windows XP Pro that doesn't need to be activated??
