Installing Office 2007 Standard

[Kevni]

I have a copy of Office 2007 STandard that I bought tow years ago. I have
only installed it on three of my computers and I just bought a new desktop a
few months ago, the problem is I think I left the disk in either my
grandmother's in NY ( I am in MO) or it is somewhere packed away from when we
moved out here.

I have the case it came in so I have the product key, my question is:

Can I download the software to the computer I want it on or do I need to
start digging and find the disk? The version of Office that came with this
desktop is dofferent than the one I bought.

Office std is only licensed for installation on two PC's, if a retail
edition, a desktop & laptop
Office H&S is licensed for 3 PC's for none commercial use
Office on your new PC is likely a trial version, unless you paid extra for
the OEM version

Office Standard is only licensed for two computers, a primary device and a
portable device for use by the primary device's primary user. Office Home
and Student is for three computers "within the same household and not for
commercial use" (my quotes) Grandmother's computer is not physically within
the same household unless you are living there, but you say you are in MO
which means that it would violate the license agreement by having GM's
computer with a copy and your computer in MO with a copy.

Either way, you have violated the licensing agreement with Microsoft.

Either way, before installing any other Office product on the new desktop
uninstall the trial version and any associated activation wizards and reboot
the computer, otherwise bad things will be sure to happen when you try to
run the installation.

I never said I installed it in my grandmother's PC I said I left it in my
grandmother's...as in her house. I thought this was good for 5 installs not
two, I think I am thinking of Norton. I know the student version is good for
three.

Not a big deal I don't use the other computers for anything other than media
so I will
just switch the main liscense to my new desktop and keep it on my laptop.

If you reread your original post I think you could see how it appeared that
you had the program installed in three computers and your grandmothers. Oh
well, as you said it isn't a big deal.

The only software version that Microsoft sells that can be installed on 5
computers is a volume license version of Office. I think you would know if
you had purchased that as you can't just walk into any store and purchase
it. You have to buy that from a volume license reseller. Glad you are
going to fix the licensing issue.

Have a great day.

Can be two laptops actually. There's no mention in the EULA as to whether
the primary device must be a desktop or not...
