MS Office Licensing Question

[Liam]

I went to an office this morning and was asked to document their MS products.

They are using Office 2007 Professional retail.

One user had managed to (somehow) get a key for Enterprise and used that to
get the one-note, groove, communicator add-ons. The manager is adamant that
they are in compliance so I was going to delete the enterprise and install
Professional.

Is there a way to jsut roll back the product key and keep the install?

Hi Liam,

As there are additional products you mentioned, and the company's goal is to be in compliance with the license agreement, switching
to a Professional Edition License wouldn't achieve the goal If they're saying they are already in compliance, then changing the
license key still wouldn't have much impact on applying it to apps within a single product SKU that aren't covered by the key.
