How do I intsall Office SBE (MLK) media Licence Key only supplied

[GarryR]

Hello all I need some help.

I build computers. Microsoft are now supplying the licence key only when
OEM's are purchased.

I have just built a new system and purchased Office SBE (Key Only) What I
need to know is
1. Where do I source the correct OEM software from, the M/Soft site software
is for full copy licence only.
2. Do I need some additional tools. software etc.

Thanks if you can help as I have a Microsoft product at the moment that I
cannot activate.

I agree. I paid ofr one item and got another. I was not told the product
would be media less and it is taking me hours to install the product as I am
in a rural and remote area. I would have thought instructions could have been
sent with the product or at least Word 2007 ready to launch. This is a most
frustrating situation.

Karen, sorry about your situation but remember the old adage, if it seems
too good to be true, it probably is. If you did not purchase from a
reputable software company you can be taken very easily. The MLK key is
supposed to only be sold to people who purchase a computer that has the
license ready version of the software on it already. If you obtain the
software disk without having it already installed on the computer when
purchased, you technically are violating the EULA for the product. No,
there won't be a Microsoft licensing cop looking over your shoulder but this
is just an attempt to educate. A good software supplier, if a telephone or
in person order, would have asked exactly how the software would be used (as
there are many different versions of Office 2007) to ensure you are getting
the correct version.
