Trial version on netbook to Office 2007 to free upgrade 2010
in [Microsoft Office]
|
From: Prithvi on 15 May 2010 09:13 I own a netbook - Samsung N140 with resolution 1024X600 and has the option to be 1024X768. I am using MS Office Home and Student 2007 Trial Version. Yesterday I bought and successfully installed brand new 3PC Licensed Office Home & Student 2007 for my other 2 notebooks - the recent one that is freely upgradeable to Office 2010 whenever it's out (Office 2010 free upgrade being the main reason to buy it in the first place. See: http://office2010.microsoft.com/en-us/tech-guarantee/microsoft-office-2010-technology-guarantee-FX101825695.aspx). So I intend to load this balance 1 license version in my netbook. Queries: 1] MS office website shows that it (Office 2007) is suited for 1024X768 & above. Well, how is the same working on my netbook cuz I multitask by surfing & using word at same time, so am presuming my netbook allows MS Office 2007 to run in 1024X600 mode. I still need to make use of the balance one PC license activation left for the new Office. Plz clarify and confirm. 2] If 'yes' for above, then can I install the newly bought Office using that DVD (I have a separate CD/DVD Drive so no problem there) OR is there a short way to feeding in Product Key since the trail version is already there to make it licensed w/o having to unistall and then install the office. Is there a short way or do I simply uninstall and install using the new DVD itself – fair n square? 3] This is important: One of my notebooks on which I have loaded the new Office 2007 (eligible for 2010) is running on Vista which I will shortly replace with Win7 Home premium 32-Bit – mostly after Office 2010 gets released for free upgrade. Can I install the Office 2007 again on new OS w/o losing the license i.e., I hope Office recognizes that its the same system with new OS and not count it as a fourth and gets installed since I will be necessarily using all 3 licenses asap and not wait for Win7 to arrive.

From: Prithvi on 16 May 2010 09:48 I had the impression the 3 specific PC's on which the first installs are done too get locked in and one can't re-install it on a fourth PC. As I understand I can use it on as many PC's as possible as long as it is on '3 working installs'. So I can change the OS from Vista > 7 and reinstall Office. Great ... thanks a lot !

Always refer to the License terms for the Microsoft Office you have installed on your computer - many ask here, but we can only give general suggestions, and some of it is fairly accurate IF you have described your purchase accurately - What you can specifically do - how many copies, reassign rights, upgrade, conversion etc - are spelled out in YOUR License terms. License Terms - Office 2007 http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA102103171033.aspx Additional tips about License Terms - your specific License Terms provide the details you need. Office 2007 is used as an example In your 2007 version - click on Office Button - Options - Resources - About - View the Microsoft Software License Terms Normally the License terms includes sections for Retail License Terms, OEM License Terms and Media-Less License Terms (In Office 2010 - Product Key Card - PKC will replace Media-Less or MLK) Then, under the Installation and Use Rights, it specifically states how you can assign your license. For 2007 products, this is also a good resource page for License Terms in identifying the kind of product you have: If your designation is FPP, then the Retail License Terms below apply to you. If your designation is OEM, then the OEM License Terms below apply to you. If your designation is MLK, then the Media-less License Kit Terms below apply to you. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA102240441033.aspx Also, another helpful tip (IF it applies in your specific license terms) - READ your license terms to be sure you HAVE specific reassign useage Here is a REASSIGN * Example * REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE. You may reassign the license to a different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days. If you reassign, that other device becomes the "licensed device." If you retire the licensed device due to hardware failure, you may reassign the license sooner. Other important issues are detailed in your License Terms as well - for example - UPGRADE OR CONVERSION David > > "DL" wrote: > >> The license is for three working installations, not 3 installs, you can >> install as often as you like >> Uninstall any Trial and its Activation assistant, reboot, prior to >> installing from media >> >> "Prithvi" <Prithvi(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:48FC6D48-9CEB-4E24-80AA-693A3C5ADFBC(a)microsoft.com... >>> I own a netbook - Samsung N140 with resolution 1024X600 and has the option >>> to >>> be 1024X768.

That means I can upgrade OS and re-load the Office 2007 back even after having used up 3PC license. Great , noted your points on uninstalling trial versions completely. Thanks a ton, DL !
