Office 2007 product keys...

richyb_safc · 14 Mar 2009 at 20:56

Can anyone help me here. With my Office 2007 I was told I could use my product key 3 times, I have used it 3 times now, but twice on the same mobo (Vista and W7). Will I have one more product key left? as the software is registered to the motherboard with Vista etc. I believe, is this the same case with Office?

Cheers

I think its only office retail that has the 3 user installation in which case it shouldn't be tied to the motherboard.

normally on those type of restrictions if you phone them up and explain uve had to reinstall a few times then you can have the key reactivated.

What "type" of Office package did you buy?

If it was OEM then it has the same restrictions as OEM Windows.
If it was full retail or retail upgrade then it can be installed/reinstalled as often as you like so long as only one instance is in existence at once (or you install it on your desktop & laptop computer).
If its the Home/Student edition then it can legally be installed on 3 different machines.

If the product fails to activate online use the phone system - so long as you are legal then phone activation will take you five minutes at most.
