Transfere of Office Enterprise 2007 to a new machine

[cardnut]

Recently I bought Office Enterprise 2007 from my employer. With the purchase,
I can put it on two PCs. I put it on mine and my wife's. Since my current
desktop is maxed out as far as I can expand or improve it, I am building a
new machine. Since I am going to donate this machine to a local school (after
I wipe the hard drive clean) how can I go about transferring my Office 2007
to my new machine? When I try to install it on the new machine, it tells my
that I have reached the limit of my licenses. What is my next step? Is there
a next step?

By your own information above you have violated any agreement for the use of
the Home Use program. The license agreement reads:

I) Installation and Use Rights.
a) Licensed Device. Before you use the software under a license, you must
assign that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device
is the â€licensed device.†A hardware partition or blade is considered to be
a separate device.
• You may install and use any number of copies of the software and of any
prior version of the software on the licensed device.
• Except as described in the Remote Access section below, only one user may
use the copies on the licensed device at a time.
• You may reassign a license, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not
within 90 days of the last assignment). If you reassign a license, the
device to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed device for
that license.

b) Portable Device. You may install a copy on a portable device for use by
the single primary user of the licensed device.


Since you have installed it on your "wife's" computer you have violated the
agreement as the "wife" is not the single primary user of the licensed
device (your computer!)

Contact your IT department or the MS telephone number in the documentation
you received when you purchased the Home Use Program package.
