Activation Code or license code
Hello
I am trying to find the code for Visio on this computer. It used to be owned by someone I worked with. It has Visio 2003 already on it and I can find the Product ID through Help and Options but I want to find the licence number for asset purposes. How can I find this please? -- thankyou |

The short answer is that it is not there. AFAIK selling a computer does not
transfer the license for the software that is on it, that is a separate transaction (unless of course the source material for the software is also transferred which would have the codes). You'll have to go back to the guy you got it from. al "help" wrote in message ... Hello I am trying to find the code for Visio on this computer. It used to be owned by someone I worked with.

Thanks Al. What does AFAIK mean?
I am surprised that I am unable to check if it is authentic though even if I was only given the last four digits or something. I will just keep using it then, we were looking at ordering the more uptodate product for some of the staff. -- thankyou "AlEdlund" wrote: The short answer is that it is not there.

Whoops I understand AFAIK now. I didnt purchase it though, it is an office
computer so it will stay with the computer for the moment. Thanks Al. -- thankyou "AlEdlund" wrote: The short answer is that it is not there.

Check with Microsoft directly. Most of the experts here can asnwer questions
on how to use the product, but we are lost when it comes to the mysteries of licensing. There should be no problem in doing the license transfer when you call Microsoft if this is just a simple matter of you inheriting an existing machine with Visio on it. John...
