Crossover Office is proprietary, and can be bought from Codeweavers.
(They will probably send you an invoice, now that everybody know
you have got a copy.) !

Crossover is easy to install, but will only run with an exact kernel fit.
Or is the registry problem a legal issue ? Register and pay.... ?

Problems with MS office 2k in Crossover 6.2

What I meant was that I bought the rights from him and I know for a fact that he couldn't use it, he has a mac and therefore he could run it
if he had to.

All of the software is legal

When I installed Office 2k the install went with out a hitch,when I
launched Office it said that there was a WINDOWS registry problems

Problems with MS Office in 2k in Crossover 6.2

I solved the problem.
What I had done was during the installation I told it to use a pre-existing bottle. After reinstalling MS office it works perfectly


Thanks for the Help
