Install Office on a Different Computer
Beth
I agree that this does certainly imply so. It still seems a bit hazy because if you purchase a retail pack upgrade for the old PC, the Eula for the upgrade implies it is transferable (with no mention of the qualifying app needing to be transferable too). It is a bit of a shady area unless there is something written. Normally, we would call Microsoft business support for queries like this, but lately we have been getting different answers to licensing queries depending on who answers the call!

I was verbally told it couldn't be used as a qualifying product on another computer in a session on licensing a summit or two ago. I did a little searching too. I haven't found anything that explicitly discusses OEM licensing and upgrades but this link seems to imply it can't be used on another computer: http://www.microsoft.com/ireland/sma...sbe/newpc.mspx ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... I'm still looking for a written answer to this. At the moment I can only confirm that (my old employers) still sell Upgrades and use the old OEM CD from the scrapped PC as the qualifying app. They are trying to find the source of the information.

Beth I'm going to look into this further because my understanding is that you can use an OEM Office as an upgrade qualification. In a similar way, you can purchase a software assurance upgrade for an OEM version of Office. Perhaps this has changed since I last had a Microsoft License Overview, maybe with the introduction of Office 2007? Terry "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... You can't use an OEM version of Office as a qualifying product on another computer. You noted, an OEM version is tied to the computer it is installed on and the license cannot be transferred to another computer. The original version and upgrade are considered a single product and cannot be separated. So if the OEM license is dead it can't be used at all. |
