Hi all,

I would like to format my hdd and reinstall windows, however, I have Office
Pro2007 installed on the pc, and I have used all three licenses on the disks.
Is there anyway to reinstall it without requiring an add'l license purchase?
Will it know it was already on the pc?

Thanks

Go ahead and reformat. You have already activated Office on your PC. It
should reactivate with no problem. If there is a problem, a 5 minute phone
call to MicroSquish will solve the problem.

When you re-install everything, use the SAME key code as you used before..

To find out what that is, download Belarc, run it and then print out the
results. On one of the pages, you will see your 'key codes in use'..

You can reinstall it as many times as you need or want to. Worst case,
you may have to activate it by a quick and easy voice call to an 800
number, instead of over the internet.
