My Eula for Encarta 96. Say's I can move their software to another
computer. (On the cd it says for distribution with a new pc.)
So which is correct?

I think if you have CD software that came with another computer and
that computer is trashed or cant use. I think you should be able to
use the software on another computer. I don't mean the operating
system.

Most software that comes with a computer can be downloaded anyway.

I would also like to ask the lawyer what he thinks of the activation
issues but his answer(s) might be deleted by Microsoft.
