Sharing Office 2003

L

My license agreement says I can use Office on two computers....my original
Office was installed on a Vaio PC as a 90 day trial and I had to buy Office
2003 to continue to use it. I want to use Office on a second computer of
mine but do not have the CD since it was installed as a trial on the Viao.
Can I somehow use Office on my new computer and how would I do that without a
CD? I have the license key.....

Without either the installation file or Office cd, no can do.
Usually when you convert a trial to a full version by purchasing the key you
are given the option also to by the cd for a nominal cost, if you dont do
this you can be dissadvantaged in the future.

Sounds like you own an OEM version and you cannot install OEM versions on a
second computer.

No, but the OP says it was preinstalled on the system. That says OEM to me.
