The other two possibilities are both preferable, although I’d suspect they wouldn’t have used the IP technique, as many people have dynamic IP‘s, which means their IP address is changed by their internet service provider on a fairly regular basis, mostly (I suspect) to make it harder for people to put web servers on their home internet connection (although, like everything, that can still be done with a little ‘know-how’ 🙂 ) If that’s the case, don’t despair, as I have had the same thing happen before, and one phone call to Microsoft Support to explain the situation has usually been sufficient to reset the activation limit. What to do if you can no longer activate Microsoft Office 2007? If it is the first, as I suspect, you can probably expect that if you happen to install vista down the track, or have to reinstall Office 2007, that you’ll use up your 3 activations pretty quickly.
The answer is YES – you can use one copy of Microsoft Office on up to 3 personal computers – although each copy requires ‘activation’ over the internet, which probably means that Microsoft records information about each computer to make sure that the package is only installed the three times.
I Googled to try and find this out, and turned up no answer, so like every good ‘experimenter’ I just went ahead and tried it. This is a really valid concern, as I understand Microsoft’s other new release, Vista is quite strictly a ‘one computer only’ package. One concern I did have was whether or not I’d be able to use Office 2007 on the various computers I have (for instance my laptop as well as my main desktop). Can Microsoft Office 2007 be used on Multiple Computers? The package as a whole installs very easily, and I really like the new ‘Web 2.0’ style interface.
I have to say, they have done a very good job.
