returning a computer

[jeninflorida]

okay, what should one do when returning a computer back to Dell.

de-authorize iTunes, yes? With Apple, I think one can only have iTune installed and active on five different devices. So, its always best to de-authorize a device when you are no longer using it, correct? Now, I don't have to worry about the music as we installed a second hard drive and put all the data on it.


Remove MS-Office?
I think with Microsoft that they count the number of times you install office, so is there a way to take back the install?


Course, will wipe the drive but there really isn't much on it. Didn't have this Dell for a long time, a couple of weeks ... and since we had trouble with it from day 1, never put anything important on it.

So thoughts? plan of action? let's hear it teck studs

I would put this as the screen background just for fun

It looks amateur enough and you could label it family reunion or office pool party.

I still use office 2003 and have installed it on over 12 computers so far (all in my household) with no issues. Of course I only agree to register the first time I installed it.

Is that before automatic registration?

I'd say really delete the drive. Modern recovery software is quite efficient...
