Windows office 2007 reusing?

Options
Hi, i have got windows office 2007 installed on 3 computers in my house. One of them has died on me and i was wondering if it is possible to reinstall W/O 2007 on my new one. When i tried it said that the code was invalid. i have seen somewhere that new codes are for sale, would they be any good?

Also i came across a thread about software4students doing windows 2010 for £48, has anyone used them?

Thanks

    You could always download OpenOffice for free.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Just get the licence key validated manually.

    +1 for OpenOffice - it's free and is compatible with Windows Office - www . openoffice . org

    No but it is free but follow macman's advice, if it's a valid license then Microsoft will sort you out (well ok I believe). Open Office is good, but not fully compatible (ie if you have VBA/macros etc) but it works fine for the basics, and has its own macro stuff too for writing you own, or using open source stuff off t'internet.
