Hi,

I recently purchased a copy of Office XP which is an OEM copy.  This is the first piece of additional software I have every purchased, and I have a question about whether I can use this software, and the licensing agreement.   Under the End-User License Agreement, it states that the software can only be used if accompanied by a new computer system.  Above the product key, it states Compaq, so I am assuming the person I bought it from on Ebay received this software with her Compaq computer, but never used it.  Can I now legally install it on my Dell laptop, as this was not the computer it came with?  Thank you.
