Hello

I have visio 2002, i have one license for it. I loaded it
about a year ago when i bought it onto my old laptop. I
now have a new PC and so i took it off the laptop and
loaded it onto this new pC. But when i did this it asked
me to register it again. When i clicked to activate it
said that this copy had already been registered and i had
2 more uses till it went into reduce functionality mode.

Now can someone tell me what to do to continue using this
legally?

I mean didn't microsoft consider people might buy new
PC's and reload programs??

thanks much
