I have a perfectly valid Office 2007 license which I've moved from computer
to computer since XP days, and which won't activate over the Internet on a
recently reimaged Windows 2010 desktop.

The last time this happened (years ago), I had to call Microsoft who
wouldn't use the valid key I read to them, where they insisted, on the
phone, that I had to dig up the original box and read something (I don't
remember what) off that original box.

Now I can't find the box again - but I probably can waste a few hours
digging it up if I must.

My question to you is how many times can a valid Microsoft Office 2007
license be "re-used" on your home machines, when it's NOT in use on any
machine at the moment?

(It's still literally sitting on some of the old disks but they're not
bootable so they're no longer the C drive.)

Do you know if there is a limit of how many *sequential* machines you can
move a license to over the decades?


This may be of some help in getting it activated. Use the phone method you
provide a long installation ID code that you get to when trying to activate
and MS gives you a long string of numbers back that activate the product.
