Licenses for past versions

[Mark]

I have a home based business with a single computer.
I just purchased a full licensed version of Microsoft
Office 2003. If I want to use previous versions of Office
eg XP, 2000, 97, do I now need a license for each version
or is my 2003 license sufficient?

Of course you do - it isn't 'one size fits all' you know. Though, if you own
previous versions of Office you have licences for them, so I don't
understand the question.

Hi Mark,

If you purchased a full licensed product and already had a license for an earlier version you now have two licenses. If you had an
earlier version plus an upgrade to it that 'pair' (original + upgrade) would still be a single license.

Its not the obvious, and to be honest, i cant remember the specifics of the
office licence, but certainly the windows XP one ( i forget if i am talking
about the OEM or retail one) says that you can use any previous version of
windows instead with that licence. I suggest Mark, that you read the EULA
very carefully to see if you can.
