See, it's highly complicated ( I dunno why i'm talking.)
All Microsoft Products (and some non-Microsoft programs) create a special string based upon your hardware ID's and such, like HDD serials, Network adapter serials (I forget the name for them at this moment ) etc., etc. And When you install a windows product, it creates a hash/string, based upon all that info, that's almost impossible to duplicate (even with a highly similar system) It sends that string to a Microsoft server, that stores that stores your key in their system, along with your 'hash/string' so your key can only be used with that system (depending upon the liscence type (one user, two user, etc.) If the key is registered with more than two systems, acc. to the Microsoft server, then It will deny your key, etc, etc.
So essentially, you could copy all of Microsoft Office XP's (or whatever edition you're using) 'stuff' to a drive, or a directory on a new computer, and it would run fine. However there'd be no file 'permissions' set. and Windows would act as though that didn't exist when attempting to open a .doc file. (even though it should point to MS Word).
It would all work, in theory, however to install it properly you'd need the executable copy I made (with a keygen
)
