Office 2007

[KTN]

Im thinking of buying Office 2007.
Im see you can only use the product key 3 times and after that you can't use it anymore.
What if you want to take it off of one pc and put it on another?

As far as I know the retail edition of Office 2007 can only be installed on 2 computers at the same time ( a desktop and a laptop).
Your description suggest you have vlk (volume license key) that should enable the above on 3 different set ups with different product key numbers so that's 6 computers at any one time.

The solution, just make a note (and don't lose it!) for each install of the product key used.
That way you can always re-enter the required product key if you a crash or get a new machine etc.

What you don't do is use a new product key with each install.

Home and Student versions allow for installation on 3 pc's, Pam. I've retired an old pc and moved the older Office (XP - Student and Teacher version) to a different pc. I had to call MS and talk to them to get a new activation but it was a painless call.

So it's the same deal as when XP decides you're over the limit and you have to call activation?
In that case KTN has nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the answers
I have to decide if I should just keep Office 03 or buy Office 07.
