reinstalling office software

[dphillips]

Version: 2008

Okay, this may seem totally lame, but once you've purchased office ..home and student edition, can't you download it onto another computer in the household? I was told you could download it three times. We want to put it on our son's laptop for school, but can't navigate the website to let us do that. Somebody help. Not so techno savvy here.

Where did you download from?

My understanding that if you buy the boxed version, the license permits
three installs. The download version controlled from whomever runs the
download. I would have expected they would give you three licenses
number just as the boxed version does. Suggest you re-read the license
agreement on the web site of the vendor from whom you downloaded.

We have few insights here on the download procedures... The participants
here are users who already have the product & have never had reason to
purchase by way of the download. This is a new availability with which we
have virtually no experience & very little information, so I'd suggest you
contact MS Support for the best answer.

My guess [FWIW] is...

What you downloaded is a disk image (.dmg) which you can copy from one
system to another & install on each based on the different Product Keys that
were sent to you. IOW, it isn't 3 separate downloads from the Digital River
site. If you elected the option for the $12.95 DVD you'll also be able to
install from it once it arrives.

If you didn't order the DVD & have deleted the .dmg I don't know what you
may have to do to receive another. Again, MS Support can help on that.

You might also check in any supporting filed (such as ReadMe) that were
included in the download for further instructions.

Good Luck |:>)
