office professional 2007
There are many types of "genuine of office pro 2007" but the real question
is: is it a retails version or is it an OEM version. There are some retailers still selling OEM versions even if you don't buy any hardware going with it. That aside, generally retail versions can be installed on two devices - mainly one desktop and one portable. However, there is no way this can be checked because Steve Ballmer of M$ is a very busy man who hasn't got the time to visit all his 5 billion or so customers and he has no intention of hiring DL because DL is a drug junkie without any intelligence. How you gone manage without a CD drive is a big question. People have managed to buy an external USB DVD/CD drive and done it that way; some have copied the entire CD on a flash drive and used that to install it; some went even further to network their netbook with a desktop or laptop and used the CD on other machine to install it on netbook. Where there is a will, there is always a way. Some have downloaded the trial version and hacked it to make it into a full version without paying anything but this is completely unreligious and our resident nun Susie Ramlet may not like it. Hope this helps.

Note that these are not trial versions but the full retail package (not an upgrade version,) the same as would be on the CD/DVD received. In general if the license is a retail full install of Office 2007 it can be installed onto a primary device and a portable device which is used exclusively by the primary user of the first device (slightly paraphrased from the original license agreement.) An upgrade retail product takes on the license agreement of the original product and an OEM version is able to be installed onto one machine only and dies with that machine. http://www.microsoft.com/office/downloads/ |
