Confused: by "code", did you mean legal or software? I assume that Microsoft is now doing the "hardware hash" kind of thing it does for Windows licenses, and so once you've activated an Office using a given hash, you'll be allowed to re-activate ONLY using the same (or similar enough) hash. If you meant "legal code", then are you saying that Polish law requires portability? If so, would that we had such consumer-protective laws here! -- zMan -- "I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Disclaimer This E-mail contains confidential information belonging to the sender, which may be legally privileged information.
