changing name on license agreement
My sister recently gave me her computer. All the Microsoft
programs are already installed but they are under her name and licensed to her. How do I change the license agreement so that my name is on the screen when the programs start instead of hers? She gave me no discs or instructions on how to do any of these things and this is the first computer that I have ever had. |

changing name on license agreement
Tammy
Without discs to re-install, you will have to make changes to the Windows Registry. Assuming you are aware of the precautions taken when editing the Registry and know how to restore a recent backup of same....... If not, maybe have a look here first...scroll down to "Registry editing tips" http://www.activewin.com/tips/reg/index.shtml When comfortable with the instructions and caveats found there, go to StartRun and enter "regedit"(no quotes). Click on EditFind. Type your sister's name into the find box. At each found location, change to your name.
