Question about bundled software.

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a Dimension XPS Gen 3 on order. In placing the order, I forgot
to deselect the default WordPerfect suite and the Paint Shop™ Pro
Trial. I have MS Office 2003 and Photoshop CS now, so these bundled
programs are useless to me. Will the software come preinstalled, or
will I just have discs to install them myself?
Thanks!

They will come installed. Just go to the Control Panel and un-install them.

Probably because the license is only valid for one computer, so he was
stealing the second copy.

Perhaps you do, but if he was loading the same copy with the same Product
ID, then that's not appropriate

Tom
Exactly which Office 2003?
Some retail allow two installations, Desktop and portable used by the same
individual.
Student and Teacher may allow up to 3 per household:

Read your specific EULA for details.

Tom;
If it was packaged with the computer it is most likely OEM and may only be
installed on the original computer.
