MS Office 2007 Product key

Hi
I have used up the product key on my 2007 MS Office small business. Can I still use the CD and just get a new product number, or can anyone suggest where I can get a MS Office 2007 specific.
Thank you

  • What do you mean by 'used up'? If you mean you have moved it to a new machine and it won't activate you can activate it by phone and just explain what you have done.

    Thanks for that I was unaware I could do that. The message I got was that I have exceeded the number of uses allowed. Is it a uk number I call???

    Click Start and in the Search box type Run. In the Run Box type slui.exe 4, Enter. Select the UK activation centre, call, speak with someone and explain what happened. The number should be 0800 018 8354, I think.

    The last time I did it, it was an international toll free number, so dont worry about cost. If you activate it on another machine be aware that it will stop working correctly on the old machine.

    The UK number is 0800.
    Note that you can re-use the licence if you move from one computer to another, but not to keep it running on multiple computers.
    (Subject to the licence, of course; some Office licences were for two computers.)

    Phoned them up, told them the issue... Yes it took me 5 hours to get to the person who actually sorted it but, I'm up and running again. Thanks to all inputters, it was very helpful ;-)
