Yet another MS license thread: What can I legally sell?

[Electrode]

I've got a few MS programs that I'd like to sell, but I don't know what, if anything, I can legally sell:

Retail stuff:
* Windows 95 upgrade
* Plus! for Win95

Some software I got with a HP desktop system I bought a few years back:
* Windows 98 SE "getting started" guide with COA
* Works 2000 CD
* Money 2000 Standard edition
* Encarta 2000
* A "Product Identification Card" with a Works 2000 COA on the back. Says it is "your assurance that that the Microsoft products you have recieved with your Hewlett Packard PC system are legally licensed from the Microsoft Corporation." Lists Money 2000, Works 2000 and Encarta 2000 on the front and contains what appears to be the license agreement.

Can I sell any of this? If so, are there any technicalities I need to address? For example, do I need to sell it with "hardware"? Can I give it away free with purchase of a paper clip or something like that?

give microsoft a call. I know waiting on hold sucks. but they will be able to answer all your questions, and you will know that what you are doing is 100% legal. Make sure you get the name and extension of the person that you speak with.

I would do that, if I could find out what number to call. MS's site is the most useless, convoluted piece of crap I've ever dealt with.

This number will get you to microsoft support. (800) 936-5700. The first person that you speak to will be Customer service. They "should" be able to answer any questions that you have about reselling.

Your best bet is to give it away to a charity or non-profit and knock a bit off your taxes. Actually, nothing you listed is worth the aggravation. Just give it away and be happy that you may have helped someone.
