You're right. An OEM version cannot be used as a qualifying product for
another computer. See my reply to JoAnn.

Good catch. I'm still not confident that an OEM app will qualify for an
upgrade on a different machine, though.

You're slipping Suzanne. In the first post in the thread, the poster
said "I have all of the install CDs that came the the system."

All of which assumes that the OEM actually gave you a CD and that it
qualifies for an upgrade on another machine.

You can't install that OEM version of Office on another computer.
It basically dies with the old system. It *could* be used as the
qualifying product for a 2007 upgrade version tho.
