I want to start a computer rental business, do I need a special license for windows and word?

Question

I am just concerned about the software end of this. Im pretty much offering basic systems with just windows XP installed and I would like to include Word on them too. I just dont want to start and end up in legal trouble for doing this. I own legal copies of the software, one per machine, but can I get into trouble for renting these machines? Is there special licensing I need to do this legally? Ive looked all over the net but cant get any information. Thanks!

Answer 1

Read the End User License Agreements for Windows and Word carefully.  You can probably find the answers therein.  If not, see a lawyer.  It will be worth the time and money.

Hope that helps.
