MS Office to new Net Book

Bought a new Net Book today. I already have MS Office 2007 DVD so I thought I could load it onto my Net Book as you get 3 Licences with Office. However, forgot I didn't have a DVD Drive with my Net Book (Stupid!!!).
Is there anyway I can load MS Office on to my Net Book using my existint software licence?
I also have purchased Norton for my main PC. I think you can use this on additional laptops, netbooks, etc. How can I copy this over to my Net Book?

Yep, using another computer, just create an .iso image of the disc, copy it onto a USB and mount it in your netbook when it will behave exactly like a disc.
I always use this and it is great:
