Using previous versions of Office with 2007 licence

[BertieBigBollox]

Bought a perfectly legitimate version of Office 2007.

Does this allow me to use previous versions of Office if I so desire?
Will the product key actually work?

For instance, if I want to run Office on a Windows 98SE machine, my
only choice is Office XP. Assuming I've got the install CDs, am I OK
with the Office 2007 licence?

As long as you have a valid license for each copy of your software, you can
have multiple versions.

The Office 2007 product key will not work with previous versions of
Office. Unless you have one of the volume license programs from M$, it
also does not give you downgrade rights. You'll need to search the web
for someone selling a legit older version. Good luck.

Confused.... I've got a copy of Office 2007 but its a Windows 98
machine so Office 2007 wont work. Can I use Office XP because I've
purchased an Office 2007 licence or do I need a specific Office XP
licence?

You need an Office XP license (and disks) if you want to run Office XP. And
the question begs to be asked: Why did you buy Office 2007 if you have a
system that cannot run it?

because the person I was buying it for told me the Pc was running
Windows XP (incorrectly)

You have my sympathies. Some people really shouldn't be operating computers.
Yes, that's harsh, but there is a certain amount of basic information
everyone should know about their computer and that's one of those things.
