How do I re-set the number of "installs of Office enterprise 2007

[JoeB]

I recently gave away my old XP computer, after removing everything but the
factory installed software. I had Office Enterprise 2007 (which I got
through the Home User Program via my employer) on that machine. It was also
uninstalled.

Now, when I try and install office 2007 on my new XP machine, I'm told that
I've reached the maximum number of installations permitted by my product key
(the key on the back of the box the software comes in).

I am already running Office Enterprise 2007 on one other PC (Vista) at home,
but really want to be able to continue to use it on my new XP system, as
before.

How can this be done?

Thanks in advance for any help.

No. You only have one install which you can move from a dead computer or a newly
purchased computer. You cannot install on 2 different computers. Read the Eula that
comes with the Home Program of Enterprise.

I have read that the EULA permits you to run Office Enterprise 2007 on
two PC's, and in fact, that is what I was doing successfully till I un-
installed it on the pc that I gave away. Why can't I continue to run
2 copies on my two existing PC's? This makes no sense...

No it does (Enterprise ) not say that it can be installed on 2 computers

Read the following

For Office Enterprise issues see the following. Support on this version is only
available from MS or your IT Department and we cannot help you here with the Office
Enterprise version.

Sorry but we do not know if it is Pirated or not. You should have gotten these
instructions as above on your Home Program purchase from your Company

The support for Office 2007 Enterprise is free and look and open

See this site for further on the license. You would only be able to install
to two computers if you have obtained two licenses from your employer.
