I intend to use it for my own purposes according to the agreement. :) Seriously.

I was just wondering if this can be patched or updated. :) Thanks! ttt

If you're talking about downloading critical updates and things like that, then you probably can. I have an Academic version that's also. It's the same as Windows 2000 Professional retail, but just cheaper.


Re:I have an version that I got from my school ($25), and it did require activation. I got a copy of Office XP Premium too, and it also required activation.

Re:Do the disks from the .NET Launch require activation?

Does anybody know a place to find information about getting around activation? PLease PM me if you know.


Re:guy, besides the fact that you cannot sell it ;) , it's a full-featured version, just like the one anyone would buy in a retail location :)

Re:You definitely cannot sell it, but I've seen people trade it on the FS/FT forums. I have never read the license agreement, so I really don't know the legal limitations. If you're up for it, I guess you can read the license agreement and look for things that you can't do with it. Hope this helps.
