    Hello people I am considered to buy even an old Office license,
    so to become compatible with some software that I use , and needs at list outlook ( Like PDA contacts sync ) .

    Right now I can see on eBAY some options like " small business " 2002 and 2003 .

    Other than software bungle , is there any other reason that i should take in consideration ?

    Is there any license limits ?
    Do they use both the same license method with numeric key , or the 2003 needs by INTERNET activation ?

    All that I plan to do , are to use them on my desktop & laptop , and thats it.

    Just be very careful about whom you buy from - only a seller who has a lot of sales, a 100% rating, and a return policy that's long enough to actually give you time to check the anti-piracy features of the discs against Microsoft's website and return the discs if they don't check out as legitimate.
