    I finally got my copy of Office v.X from Academic Superstore on Friday, December 7, five days after I had already downloaded it off a Carracho server. At least now I'm legal.

    It sure is ironic. I'm registered for copyright law for the spring. Stuck with securities and banking, which interests me more, for this semester.



    Now that I have my legal copy of Office v.X, I have just one problem. How do I get rid of the old "borrowed" serial number and replace it with the one I actually paid for?



    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You have to trash the files called "Office Registration Cache" and "Carbon Registration Database" under your user/library/preference/Microsoft



    After trashing that files you will be asked to enter your serial number again....

    Thanks, Leonis. I actually ended up using the uninstaller and reinstalling the whole suite. Wish I had checked this thread again sooner.

The final nail: when students come to BUSL they're advised not to buy Mac's, and they have locked all Mac users out of the wireless network.



    Now, I will buy the software when it's actually available (of course) but with my law school going out of it's way to aid and abet a monopoly....I don't know, maybe mac users should avoid BUSL.

    This is the same situation as at Yale Law School. I believe their web site said something like "If you use a mac, be prepared to work by yourself" or something like that.

    Here is the actually quote from Yale's law school web site:



    I have an Apple Computer can I use it?



    The Law School IT department does not support Apple computers. If you bring an Apple computer you should be prepared to work independent of the Law School computer facilities and support.



    Sad, huh?

    I´ll support you: Get X and plug in the ethernet cable and of you go. Why should they hire someone to tell that?
