I bought a new PC. Can I use my old PC Product key to activate?
My new PC comes with 6 month trial Office 2007. Can I simple activate my
licence from the old PC by inputting my PRoduct key during activation? |

How did you come by the software on the old PC? If it is an OEM version
that came installed on the PC, then it is only licenced to be used on that particular PC. If it was a boxed version that you purchased, you can un-install it from that PC and then install it on the new one. Probably best to remove the trial version first. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

Yesterday I found that for some reason my normal.dotm on the new
laptop had lost its keyboard shortcuts and macros, so as I was going to have to copy normal.dotm over from the desktop again anyway, I tried deleting the Home & Student trial version that my installation of Enterprise had glommed onto -- without deleting and then reinstalling Enterprise; and it works fine (and the "noncommercial use" note in the title bar is gone). BTW it's a mystery why the normal.dotm got replaced; I haven't gone on line from the laptop (because I can't figure out how to make the wifi work).
