How do I make a copy of Word with license?

[California]

I sent my nieces an older iMac G3, practially new in the box, for Xmas. Panther loaded, but then I forgot they need Word. I have three licenses on my Mac 2004 WORD OFFICE or whatever it is. Can I just make a copy of it by cd and send it with the license? Do I have to program it for Linux or anything in order to make a copy? Thanks and all they have is a CD ROM so no dvds.

What? If you have three licenses and a CD with the software on it, then just send them a CD and one of the licenses, shouldn't have to do anything special, Office is a drag-n-drop installation.

What's with the random Linux interjection? While you can send her a CD and "give" her one of your licenses, this is likely against the license agreement (as I'm assuming you have the student/teacher edition that gives you 3 licenses).

Hi, there is only one cd in the box, with three different licenses. Can I just make a copy of the cd and send it to them with the license for it? And can I just burn a cd normally or do I have to burn it through Linux? I have never copied software before and pretty dumb about it all -- never even downloaded a song except imported from my cds.

Thanks !

The license IIRC is for three machines under one roof, and cannot be split up or resold without breaking the terms of the EULA.

If that's true, then I have to recommend to the OP that they not do this unless it's going to be within the terms of the EULA, but...

I don't understand why you think Linux has anything to do with this. But yes, you can just make a copy of the CD and it should work. In fact I think you could just copy the whole Office folder onto a CD and it'll work fine. Like I said, it's drag-n-drop, it installs the files it needs when you first run it (I wish it didn't, I don't like it installing all those stupid fonts ).

I needed a copy of 9.2.2 because I could not use my 9.1 install disc for some reason on a Powermac. Someone told me that you can't just copy an install disc, you have to use the Linux version when you are in disc utility.

Well, that's what he said.

I've never had problems copying discs with Disk Utility on OS X

CanadaRam is correct. whats wrong with openoffice? as it can write and read word files
