Installing Office 2007 Home & Student on a 2nd PC

[Tani]

I have been unsuccessful in installing Office 2007 Faculty & Student Edition
on my second PC in my home (with the same IP address). I have purchased the
software myself and I know the CD drive works- when I insert the Microsoft CD
I get a setup error message saying that "the digital signature is not present
or does not validate". Is this because the software only installs once and
then becomes invalid, or am I doing something wrong? Please help!

I called the help service and they told me that this version of Office 2007
may only be installed on a computer once, whereas other versions install up
to three times.
Thanks for your help.

Ah, you bought Offie HSE with your computer. Had you mentioned that, Carey
would have saved you the phone call to Microsoft.

Where did you get this version of Home and Student (retail store or with a
computer)? If it is a retail version it should install onto three different
computers. Look at the packaging (back near the bottom of the unusual
shaped, difficult to open, until you learn the tricks, case) that the CD
came in and it will tell you how many computers it will install in. Also
the 3 install version has part number X12-09054-01 as one of the last lines
on the back of the package.
