My wife is a student & we purchased the Ultimate Steal Office 2007 suite last
year. The PC it is on is becoming unstable & I bought a new PC & networked
them. I need to get Office onto the new PC (have the disc) but I am unsure
re: whether I can do so without a licensing issue...

She has all her coursework & docs on the Vista machine in .docx format, & we
cannot afford to risk losing them, or losing new files if MS determines my
new install is not authentic on the Win7 machine.

1st PC is running Vista, new one is Win7.

How should I proceed?

Without worrying about licensing issues, please try to install it using
your disks and if you have any problems, come back here with any error
messages you get on the screen. We shall worry about licensing issues
when the software is up and running properly.

You can download Office compatibility kit from Microsoft Website for
free. Again worry about this when that time comes!

Told you above.

Read the EULA, Word, Office Button, Word Options, Resources, About, View the
Microsoft Software License Terms. That will tell you how many installations
you can concurrently have. You should be able to determine from
"INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS" whether MS will activate Office on the new
machine.

If the Vista machine is becoming unstable (What Vista machine isn't?) then
make a backup of all the .docx files and any other files you care about.
You could burn them to a CD, for example. The rule is, that if you "cannot
afford to risk losing them", then you should already have multiple copies.
