My friends and I do PC support for different companies, most of which are still on XP and still using older versions of Office. Many times we will come across a situation where Office needs reinstalled and the company we’re going into didn’t hold on to the CD’s or otherwise no longer have them.

We can of course extract the product key for Office from the PC, but we’re always looking around for the media.

So our idea was to rip CD’s of all the various flavors of older Office (2000, XP, 2003, and the various sub categories like Basic/Standard/Professional/SBE).


My question is, would it be legal to throw all these ISO’s on a website. Our intention is simply to help other technicians like ourselves who have spent countless hours trying to locate the actual media or iso.
We wouldn’t charge any money to access these, and they would be useless without their respective product keys. So would this endeavor be legal? We don’t want to get blasted by Microsoft.

Thanks in advance!
