Ebay Office 2003 Purchase

[zod96]

A friend of mine purchased Office 2003 Pro from Ebay OEM. When he tries to install it, he gets some sort of error. he tried on a few machines and it doesn't work. I checked the disc. First of all it looks like a CD not a DVD. And the full size of it is only like 640 megs. Isn't office 2003 on a DVD and much bigger in size then 640 megs? Also the hologram sticker looks like it was just cut out and pasted on to the cd. I'm pretty sure he got ripped off.....

Probably counterfeit. Where did it get shipped from?

I believe it came from NJ

Office 2003 Pro is about 1Gb in size. Office 2007 Ultimate runs about 1.7GB Also on a legit MS CD there is no sticker. All the info on the cd face and the hologram is printed on at the factory when the cd is pressed. This web site details how to tell if real or not .. you can also turn the counterfeiter in if it is proved to be a fake.
