Nope. "Porting" means to create a version of the particular application
to run on a platform it wasn't written for initially.

Err- Not this time <sigh> err. He wants Err, to copy the program Err and the data Err over to
the new system. Err <sigh>.

Err.

Your blowing BS, there's no way you could have determined the OP wanted to do
that from his post. Regardless, it is STILL not porting.

I had no trouble inferring what the OP meant...

I would have disagreed about the definition of porting, but the
available dictionaries don't support me there :-)

Who are you to tell me what to do. I guess in the future I stay away
from those "Guest postings" - to much bother with you guys and too much
rude abuse.

Thank you for that decision.

Expect more "rude abuse" as long as you continually post as if you are
a raw-assed newbie.

In all my years in the industry I've never heard it being used in the
context that was suggested.

You are one ****ing retard. Office 2007 works perfect with Windows 7 you douche bag. You just
don't have the brains to run any of Microsoft's products.

Just FYI. Did you know that these posts are For Your Information? That is why we say Just FYI.

Just FYI.
 
Rather than change the definition of terms to meet a novices usage I find it
more productive to educate people on the correct terminology, so they don't
make the same mistake again, and we end up with what should be a 3 or 4 post
thread turning into the mess this one has become.
 
thanks for the info, I actually meant "iinstall" rather than "port", my bad

assuming the key can be used 3 times, can I have it on more than one
computer at the same time or do I have to remove it from my old one if I put
it on my new one. I have it on my desktop and I just bought a lap top and
would like to put it there also. I've only used the key once time. I don't
want Office 2007, if I have to I'll wait for Office 2010

You may install it on your desktop and on your laptop. In fact, I
don't think MS built any controls at all in versions 2003 and earlier.

There is *no* restriction on using it only three times. It can be used
as often as desired, as long as you don't violate the EULA with
respect to where it's installed simultaneously.

It depends. If yours is a retail version, the EULA permits having it
installed on one desktop *and* one laptop. But if it's an OEM Version,
no, no you may not do that.

Only when people can't figure out what the OP meant and then get on his
case about it...

I have an OEM version of Office 2003 and the EULA quite clearly states
that I may install it on a desktop and a laptop.

So you would prefer novices just remain ignorant rather than maybe trying to
educate them a little.
