OEM versions of MS Office 2007

[Robert Ozone]

I am a small partner who rarely gets the oppertunity to sell MS Office since
all my customers typically buy it preinstalled with their PC's. Recently I
did sell an MLK version to a customer and thought I was supposed to download
the trial version from Microsoft and then enter the product key in the MLK
pack, but it did not work. What did I do wrong?
Since my oppertunities are so rare I may have skipped this training, but I
probably would not remember it anyway since I don't sell this often enough.

You have to have the actual MLK version, not the trial version.

Where do I download the "MLK" version. Seems a bit funny I need the MLK
"Media Less Kit" version for the "Media Less Kit". Would I not need the media
for the MLK and should not any valid media work for it? Oh I forgot this is
Microsoft who often makes easy things difficult for their Partners.
Sorry for the rant, just trying to make a little money and not loose money
in the deal.
Does anybody know where do I download the media for the "MLK" version?

You can't download the MLK installation files. You, as a MS Partner should
have access to enable you to purchase the installation CD/DVD directly from
Microsoft.

See http://www.microsoft.com/oem/sblicense/OPK/default.mspx for more

Thanks, FYI: Looks like Microsoft has added a download option on that page.

OK, I stand corrected on the can't download. Since you are an MS Partner
log in and download.

At least I steered you into the proper location for your issue.
