If you have anyone in the family involved in any sort of education, be it school, college, uni or whatever, you can get an educational licence for Office - this is the cheapest way to get hold of it 'legally'. Another way is to check the weekly Micro Mart magazine - there you'll find lots of shops selling 'OEM' copies - these are supposed to be bundled with a new PC, but a lot of places sell these copies cheap as you don't get any manuals with them.

Here's the Microsoft link for the Student and Teacher edition...

get hold of 'azureus' and go onto a good torrent site 'torrent spy' (google both). and you can have excel working on your computer in the time it takes to go to PC world and back :) and it's free :D

it's not like billy gates needs the cash. - but it is illegal :( and thats why i would never condone such activity, nor take part in any myself :laugh :wink

Hi,

Just downloaded Microsoft Project 2003 from Limewire, but need the product Key to install ... any ideas how to get it?

A eal dumb-ass Big Brother type question : if I use a 'dodgy' copy of this would this have any repercussions on my licence/product key for my legally purchased Office 2003? ... i.e. when I use Microsoft auto-updates that scan your computer?

Regards

I'll have another look Radders, that was just the first one I downloaded - there were quite a few others on the system - I'll get back to you shortly

Day off .... Shouldn't be allowed .... no wonder NHS is in decline! :)

Reason for asking was , it's one thing to help out when you're bored, in work, with time on your hands, and it's another level when you take up personal limited free time ... thanks again.

Radders

NB I'm sure Tony will sort out all the NHS problems this term ... :anger

Thanks Presto,

New to Limewire & dodgy downloads .... always paid for the official stuff, but I'm trying to draw the line @ £300+ for Project!

Use eMule coupled with The Blocklist Manager (to filter out 'undesirable' IP addresses). Yes, one could download all kinds of software from there, such as - purely as an example you understand :wink - Windows Xp Professional, Microsoft Office Professional 2004, Adobe Photoshop CS and a variety of music, IF one were so inclined :).

As for keygens, I'm sure if someone were to google for, say, "astalavista" and follow (possibly) the first link in google, something could (perhaps) be found :wink

Too kind, gentlemen :). As for the avatar, John, it's an image from an animé series named "Fullmetal Alchemist", thought I'd use it as it's a little different :).

Very nice Pablo, I have a couple of friends who are Animé fans, have never got deeply into it myself but do like the animated artwork. :wink
