How do I change my "company"?

[XnavxeMiyyep]

I know it's probably trivially easy, but I can't seem to find it. I originally entered the name of my university, and I'd rather it just display an imaginary corporation involving my name, so all my XCode Projects don't say ©WPI at the top.

Address Book, probably?

My company is there, too. I don't care that it isn't copywritten, it's still my intellectual property! 😀

In terminal,

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{ORGANIZATIONNAME = "My Company"; }'

The Terminal thing probably only works for XCode.

Go to your Address Book, find your account, click edit, and change your company, which is right under your name.

'word' or 'excel'

Change it in Word's or Excel's preferences under User Information.

What are you asking?
1.) How to hide the fact you have software on your machine that you shouldn’t

2) Or how to change what it puts on the info of documents you create?

Not sure many here will help you with the first.

Okay look all I want, is to put the licensed product to a different company than the one its set right now, why?
1) I changed companies...school whatever you want to call it

Please help me do this; I did go to User Information and did the whole 'jizz' but when i open it, it still says the previous company/school
