Media disk for office 2007 from MS?

[Dave]

I have searched the MS website but cannot find this.

I bought a licence but it came without the media. Is there way to
buy a CD from MS or download from the MS Website?.

I could of course download it from a non official website but I am
reluctant to do so since i have paid for my licence.
TIA

The Media Disk only came with Office XP (2002). All the media you will ever need
is on the Office web pages.

I think he means the office key, purchased without media (Office 2007 DVD)
as available from some online sites, primarily aimed at system builders

You need to look at the little sticker that you received with your purchase
that has the 25 character license key on it. In the lower right corner if
it does not say FPP or OEM then you have a technically pirated program (one
purchased outside of the license that would be agreed to by the installation
of the software.

If it says MLK that is a medialess license kit key that is supposed to be
sold only to people that have purchased an "Office ready" PC within the last
60 days. If it is in fact a MLK then you need to return the key and all
other packaging to the place of purchase for a refund and then advise them
that they are selling the product against the license.

See the following articles for more information on the MLK: (some of these
sites are out of the US but they still are valid)

If it says FPP or OEM then you should have received a DVD with the key.
Contact the place of purchase to uncover the location of the DVD.

It says MLK. It is genuine and i did purchase it with a office ready
PC. I simply need the media.

Does anyone know if I can obtain the media from MS directly if not i
guess i will have to risk a downloaded copy from a third party
website.

Thanks

I cannot find it on that webpage. It would likely be a ISO file
approx 500Mb in size.

You are correct. I cant believe how difficult it is to get hold of a
simple cd. The licence is the expensive part i thought MS would be
giving the cd's away free to trial.

Where / location did you purchase from?

The link is irrelevent; its to clipart

dabs.com. Its a genuine licence.

dabs.com. Its a genuine licence.

So, the PC you purchased had a non-activated version of Office pre-installed
and you purchased the computer from dabs.com also. If this is correct then
contact dabs.com for information on purchasing the media. If any of this is
incorrect, then this is not a properly purchased license.

Dabs.com has been selling the MLKs as a valid license for a long time and
Microsoft has, unfortunately not shut them down or required them to specify
exactly who should purchase the license key. Also, there should be a UK
Microsoft site to purchase the media from similar to the second URL I gave
on my previous post.

I think we are going way off topic here.

I am going to assume the answer to my original post is NO and I will
have to download it from a non Mcrosoft source.

 

[DL]

Return it to Dabs, under Distant selling regs
You purchased the incorrect item, you require a boxed version of Office,
either upgrade, oem, or retail, and the specific version for your particular
circumstances

NB an upgrade version is only suitable if you have a qualifying produce, a
trial is not a qualifying product
an oem version can only be installed once and the licences dies with that
PC, ie cannot be transferred to a new PC
A retail version is sold in many flavours

I have to agree with LVTravel on this one. In short go back to dabs and take it up
with them. You probably got some sort of Trial which is how it sounds to me

 

[DL]

No, he purchased an MLK and doesnt have access to any installation media
The MLK is sold by Dabs, as to how you use it with what media I'm at a loss

No you can't download the MLK versions from anywhere. Please also note that your
serial key won't work with downloaded trial versions from Microsoft's own
Website.

I suspect, your only option is to buy Student's version for £60 from AMAZON

Hope this helps.

You can download all you want from whatever source. Have fun with the
malware that will probably be included with the download. The only way to
correct this issue is to do exactly what I said, contact dabs, get them to
refund the purchase price and/or get them to credit it to a retail version
of the software. You have purchased an incorrect license and there is no
amount of argument to correct the problem. We are NOT off topic here. This
is totally on topic as you asked how to obtain the installation media. I
have told you!

 

[DL]

Curious;
You can buy the MLK, from dabs, amongst others, but what media (dvd/cd) are
you supposed to have in order to use it?
I note there is no warning / requirement on dabs site for this purchase (I
believe dabs is part of BT)

It's not Dabs fault. I bought it.

My question was:

"I bought a licence but it came without the media. Is there way to
buy a CD from MS or download from the MS Website?. "

Your answer was basically - return it and pay for the retail version.
A great help.
