License Agreement

[rtg]

Article Three
By Rogelio Gloria

I recently received a copy of Microsoft Office XP
Standard for Students and Teachers from my cousin who
just graduated from the University. Microsoft Office has
specific license agreements which state three categories
for "proper use." On the back of the box its states the
following, "You are Not Entitled to Use the Enclosed
Software Product Unless You Meet One of the Following
Three Criteria:"

1. You must be a full-time student.
2. Or you must be a Home-schooled student.
3. Or you must be a full- or part-time faculty or staff
of an accredited educational institution.

I have a few ideas which might be "money-making." Once
you graduate from school, you no longer fall under
the "student category" and "cannot use the product any
more." Once you change careers from an academic
institution to a commercial or government version, you no
longer fall under the "full- or part-time faculty or
staff of an accredited educational institution." The
list goes on after that. To summarize what you have to
do to get off this "bad boys list" is to buy a legal full
or upgraded version of Microsoft Office.

Now my question is how do you transfer license from my
cousin to me since I am in graduate school and full fill
the requirement?

Your cousin uninstalls it from his computer, hands over all the original
contents of the box to you, and the deal is done.
