3 uses of Office

[Need another usage for Office]

I recently loaded Office Professional Plus 2007 on my computer and also on my
wife's and son's computer. My laptop then crashed and cannot be recovered.
I want to load Office on my new laptop but I have already loaded it 3 times
now....even though it is on the computer that can never be used again.
Microsoft will not allow me to load it again. Is there a way to cancel the
Office on the crashed computer and get another usage for my new computer?
How can I call Microsoft to find this out. Does anyone have an phone number
to get this question answered? Thanks

When you install Office on your new laptop you'll likely need to use the
phone activation method. The phone number should be provided to you in the
activation dialog boxes.

"Three uses" is "three concurrent uses". Many people make that mistake
here. When your laptop crashed, you got that use back. You may have to use
phone activation. The installer will tell you at the appropriate time.

Contrary to the other posters helpful suggestions, you are not entitled to
load Office Professional Plus on any computer except for the 2 that you and
you alone use. Loading it for your wife and son is a violation of the
license agreement.

Had you purchased Office Home and Student, loading it on all three computers
would have been completely within the licensing terms.

Please read your Microsoft Licensing Agreement for the limits of what you
can do with a single Office Professional Plus license.

Au contraire Milly, Professional Plus is a volume licensing product like
Enterprise. The copy I have is from my college and is for three
simultaneous uses. There is no reason to assume that this fellow is any
different.

How many computers you can load it on, is information you get from the
organization that sold or provided the product to you. The OP may know what
he is talking about, although the following is surely false except in the
case of OEM software, "Microsoft will not allow me to load it again."
