Amazon has "Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 Medialess License Kit
for System Builders - 1 pack [LICENSE ONLY]" for $198. This looks like
an OEM version and may not include the same level of support as a
retail version. The system builder, which would be you, is usually
expected to provide support. Full link below

I have a copy of MS Office 2007 Small Business and want to install it
on
another computer as well. Is it possible to purchase just the license
(preferably cheaper) and use the same software, or do I have to get a
new
copy? I don't need to install on 5 or more.
But the disk that the OP has won't allow the install by using the MLK
key. He would also need to purchase the MLK installation disk.
The page says "No discs are included in this package. This package
contains a product key that will activate a full version of this software
on a Microsoft Office-ready PC only. The product key will not activate
any volume license installation or other 2007 Microsoft Office suite."
I think it is a match to what the OP has.

- licensing terms heading for MLK
From:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA102240441033.aspx -
"MLK: If you purchased a Media-less License Kit (MLK) separately from your
"Office Ready" personal computer to license the product, the license
designation can be found near the product name on the Certificate of
Authenticity affixed to the back of the card with the text “Remove this
Card. Product key is behind this card." located inside the front of the
case for the MLK."
And: "What is a Microsoft Office Ready PC?
A Microsoft Office Ready PC is a personal computer that has a Microsoft
Office Ready PC image installed. (An image is a file that contains the
complete structure and contents of a disc.) This is a single image that
can be converted to one of the following 2007 Microsoft Office suites:
Office Basic 2007, Office Small Business 2007, and Office Professional
2007. It is also the only image that can convert to a free 60-day trial of
Office Professional 2007. Microsoft Office Ready PCs are sold to customers
with a media-less license kit (MLK) for the version of Office they
purchase.
Unlike users who bought a copy of Microsoft Office as a boxed product from
a store, separate from their computer purchase, your packaging does not
include a disc. While you have the option of purchasing a recovery disc,
you do not need to have a disc to have a genuine copy of Microsoft Office
2007.
You may choose to take advantage of the trial prior to making a purchase
choice. In that case, if you choose to convert to a permanent copy of
Microsoft Office, you will need to purchase a Microsoft Office media-less
license kit (MLK) either from your computer reseller or online within 90
days of the purchase of your computer." from

His version does not qualify as an Office Ready PC and the OP would be
purchasing a very nice piece of paper with a worthless code on it.
