Computer gurus,

Is there anyway to copy software from one computer to another without any original discs?  I want to transfer Office 2003 from my notebook to my PC.  Thanks for any help!

Not easy, hell I got degrees in computer science and I wouldn't want to try it. It can be done but you'll have to track down a bunch of file locations and some registry editing. I think I'd ratrher have teeth pulled.

No friggin' way.

It's not just moving the files (which are scattered all over hell), you also have to move registry entries and re-register many ActiveX controls.

Forget it.

If your having to ask, dont try. Try and get copies of the discs or something and just pull the the reg keys off the PC.

It would be akin to transfering the paint from one wall to another.
