Windows and Office versions prior to XP don't require activation. You can
install a copy of Office 2000 on as many computers as your conscience will
allow, as long as you have install media and a Product Key. (That's why
subsequent versions require activation, of course.) I take it from your
last message you have solved the Disc 1 won't load problem?

Cheers,

Earle
