Hello,
First post, be gentle please.
I have just bought MS Office for mac on Ebay with 2 unregistered Licences (Got Neo Office like it a lot, but I can't get to grips with the Pivot Tables so have surrendered and want to go back to Excel).

I have just had horrible thought that MS won't be overly impressed with the fact that multiple licences are being traded, and will I have a problem installing and registering?
Do I need to do something to validate the fact that the licences have been legitimately sold?
Do I need to register in the name of the original buyer?
Do I need to block the IP address of MS so that they can't check?
Will I get any updates?
Am I being totally paranoid?

I must admit I have gone into this without thinking it through, and I would appreciate any help you have to offer.

As yet I haven't installed the disc, its just sitting on my desk tormenting me.

Thanks,
Marco
