From playing around, I've found you can defeat this by installing Office 2000 Gold then upgrading, but this is time consuming. =3D20 I wan tt move all my Office installs up to SP2 and the newest patches = =3D and plan to do a Custom install. I suspect since I will be upgrading =3D existing Gold installs, this activation won't come into play. But for when I reload/roll out new workstations, I'm not going to be upgrading and I'm going to be asked to activate. Does anyone know if = =3D there is a way around these. I have legitimate Office 2000 Pro licensing that = =3D has been purchased from various vendors, but my actual copies of Office 2000 = =3D CDs are from retail store copies that were here before I started working. ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or=3D20 set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or=20 set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or=20 set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm ********************************************** This weeks sponsor 99Point9.com 99Point9 helps solve your unresolved technical server-based questions, issues and incidents. http://www.99point9.com *********************************************** For Archives, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link. http://thethin.net/citrixlist.cfm
