Guest pythagoras Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Is the MS WORD 2002 that is part of MS Works Suite 2006 legal for commercial use? I have read and reread everything I could on it in the last couple days and it seems clear that it is legal for commercial use. I would like some other people's comments. Thanks.
Guest Richard in AZ Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: word 2002 for commercial use Only some "Free" programs have restrictions on commercial use. MS Works can be used in commercial applications. You paid for the license.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: word 2002 for commercial use "Student" and related versions of MS software (which are NOT free) may not be used for commercial purposes. Any version of Office obtained with an MSDN subscription may not be used for commercial purposes (actually, no software obtained via MSDN may be used for commercial purposes except the software development tools themselves.) And I'm sure there are a couple of cases I missed. -- Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: word 2002 for commercial use AFAIK, it's OK for commercial use. But you might want try asking in the Works group: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.works.win&cat=en_us_9804e2ac-c762-44c9-9c6f-90e45f32d772&lang=en&cr=us TinyURL = http://tinyurl.com/4phlmv If nothing else, someone there probably has a copy of the license you can peruse. -- Gary S.

Do you see Office or WORD in this group's title? NO. Ask elsewhere
