hsncorrosion Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Is it possible or even legal to run ms office from a flash drive? How can you carry the serial number with the product? I know I could run a VM but that would be a lot of stress on my flash drive. I have open office portable but I want more power. If this is not legal then please lock this post. EDIT Is it possible to make any (purchased software) portable? Without writing registry keys? Quote
hsncorrosion Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 This is definitely not legal. even if you paid for it? I can understand if its not Like I said before if not plz lock 4 me. Quote
Sparda Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 even if you paid for it? Yep, software licenses are per computer, if you have it installed on one computer and are using it on another, you probably have probably broken about 20 laws. Quote
psychoaliendog Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 You could just use OpenOffice.org portable and be done with it. 100% legal, 100% free, 0% cotton. Under penalty of law do not remove this tag. Machine washable, Do not Iron. Quote
Deveant Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 as Sparder posted, ur licence is per machien, its is possible to do this still thoug, well not so much for PP, Publisher, or FP, but i have seen an old version (Office XP) running off a portable HDD, though the user had to run a reg patch per computer. This is still illegal to do. Quote
SomeoneE1se Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Stop asking mods to lock your posts if it needs to be locked it will be, you don't need to ask... and there's no reason to lock it, if I'm not mistaken you don't want to break the law. So you're asking for help to avoid breaking the law. Quote
moonlit Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Locked. Nah, I'm kidding, carry on. As SomeoneElse said, if a thread needs locking it will be, no need to ask. :) Quote
