As Rick explained, you can try to get a used copy somewhere, but that's it. You also should not confuse things - all versions prior to v7 only used serials, not an activation. The license transfer pertains to whether the serial was registered on whoever user you buy it from, which is utetrly unrelated. if he never bothered to register, then this can be a normal purchase liek any other. From the technical end, you should be aware, however, that those older versions do not run on Win Vista/ Win 7, or at least have severe problems, so consider this carefully.
