[nfbcs] Preparing a computer for selling

I would check with Microsoft about your Office.  It might depend on which
license you bought.  Some of them are for 1 computer.  Personally, I like to
run something like Deric's Boot and Nuke to make sure everything is off and
can't be found in any way.  At minimum, I would run the recovery program on
the computer, leaving it factory specs.  That at least proports to delete
all of the data.

I understand.  But, what about using that particular version of Office
elsewhere later?  It didn't come with software.  It was something you
install and have a code you activate.

hi,

all you have to do is uninstall office then deactivate your version of jaws.
worst case is you have to call fs and have your count reset.
