MM> MM> If you do a fresh re-install you will need to activate. This can be
MM> MM> done over the Internet, no need to call.

MM>BA> Now yes BUt with the release I have read in the News groups you will
MM>BA> only get 1 Install per disk and you have to call on all other Keys
MM>BA> if you need them. This is to stop Persons from installing it on more
MM>BA> them 1 machine.

MM>You can re-install as many times as you like on the same hardware. You will
MM>need to activate but this can be done over the Internet in a few seconds.

So what happens if you install XP, then later change some
hardware - larger HD, different video card, add a CDRW or
put in SCSI? Why should one have to reactivate?

MM>If you install on a different PC then you will need to do a manual 
activation
MM>via one of the call centres.

MM> MM> Office XP can be purchased outright, no subscription is
MM> MM> required.

MM>BA> Yes Here..

MM>Are you saying that you can only purchase Office XP as a
MM>subscription? That certainly isn't the case in Australia.

MM>Best wishes,
MM>Malcolm
