re-image office 2007 and activation
"Joe" <none[ at ]charter.net> 6/2/2007 12:51:08 AM
I want to re-image my device, but I'm going to lose Office 2007. What number
do I need to call to get my license back?

Has anyone devised a trick to grab something out of the registry so I don't
need to call MS ?

It is either on the CD case or in the email from MSFT you rceived if you purchased a trial edition.

I have a 10 user license with my Action Pack. If I re-image the machine and
put Office back on the computer, will I get one of my licenses taken from
me?

I have only used 3 of them so far, I have no way of knowing if a 4th will be
taken. I was hoping there would be a number to call, or I could re-apply a
registry string.

The same machine with the same hardware will use the same license and not a new one.

If you have an Action Pack subscription, they don't take licenses from you.
It's just that you may run out of activations. That's no big deal.

If you have run out ouf activations on your Action Pack subscription,
automatic activation does not work, but you can still activate through
telephone support. Explain that you have had to reinstall or that you bought
new hardware, and they'll happily give you an activation code.

As long as you don't install more than 10 concurrent copies of client
software or 1 concurrent copy of the server software, you're safe.

A MAPS license is not tied to specific hardware - you only run out of
automatic activations.
