| Move Office 2007 license to new PC I just got a new Vista PC and want to install Office 2007 on it. Problem is that I can't find my license. Is there any way I can find the license on my old PC and copy it to the new one? I am going to be retiring the old PC after that is done, so I will still be only using 1 copy of the software.      |

| Re: Move Office 2007 license to new PC What are you calling the license? You need the disks and the product key. Which don't you have? You can't just copy the files from one system and paste them in the other. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Joel" <Joel@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F4283659-E76D-4411-AC12-CF5B2C2F3A79@microsoft.com... >I just got a new Vista PC and want to install Office 2007 on it.

I'm really curious how this is going to work. Even after Belarc Advisor tells you the info you need for installing Office 2007 on your new machine, I believe Microsoft will still show that your original software is on another machine. You may have to "negotiate" with them, somehow. Let us know how this turns out. EW -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

| Re: Move Office 2007 license to new PC I have a three user licence for Office 2007 Home and Student. We have used all three licences. But I have now replaced my daughters PC and scrapped her (steam driven) laptop. Do I need to buy another licence or can I use the product key on her new PC now that we have scrapped the old one. I cannot find any support from MS on this. Please help. |

| Re: Move Office 2007 license to new PC Thanks for that - Ill just give it a try. We bought the Office suite a couple of months ago and it's one of the reasons we decided to dump the old laptop. Assume if I need to phone someone that the number will be supplied at the time of activation? I have the box and code etc etc still but no obvious phone number on the box. |

When you say "dumped" does that mean physically scrapped or have you passed it on to someone else? If you have passed it on to someone else then it needs to be uninstalled from that machine. > > Assume if I need to phone someone that the number will be supplied at > the time of activation?

| Re: Move Office 2007 license to new PC Laptop has been scrapped - it's too old and too slow and too fragged to be of use to anyone. Thanks for your advice. It's really helped. |
