jmurph333 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I just bought a new HP Pavillion dv6t, and did not buy Microsoft Office on it because my brother has an unused version of Microsoft Office that he will give to me. The only problem is the Microsoft Office that my brother has is from Dell. My new laptop has Windows Vista Home Premium SP-1 64 bit, and I am wondering wether or not the Dell activation key for Microsoft Office will work on my new HP?
spacesurfer Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 the copy of office that gets sold with a laptop only belongs to that laptop as far as i know, so you cannot transfer the software to your laptop. trying to do so may be a violation of the eula.
jmurph333 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 No the actual copy of office has never been used before. But the activation code (that has not been used) is from Dell. Will the unused Dell activation key work on an HP?
Kelsenellenelvian Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 the copy of office that gets sold with a laptop only belongs to that laptop as far as i knowOEM software is tied to the hardware it is sold with.What you want to do, while it may work is illegal.
