Always check the fine print in the licensing legalese that came with your software, but generally speaking you won't afoul of the law by selling your used Office 95 suite or other applications. However, you should remove all copies of the product from your computer, and not keep any backup CDs you may have made. You also must include any upgrades, such as Office 97 or Office 2000, you were able to buy at a reduced price as an owner of the previous version. And be sure turn over to the buyer all the documentation for the software, particularly the registration number, so he or she can transfer it to their name and be entitled to technical support, future upgrade offers, etc. Usually you can legally resell only software you purchased as a stand-alone product, regardless of whether it's new or used.
