This is not what a volume licence key is.


You dont get loads of seperate keys


You get one VOLUME licence key, that can be used to activate many installs


What you are describing is an OEM bundle of licences

Some of these cheap sellers are selling VOLUME licenses though, hence why some of the sellers only allow you to buy ONE key as they don't want you to find out.

Thank you Stemma and LeeUK for your advice.


I will download the new software this weekend and let you know how I get on.


Much appreciated.

And there is a greater chance of a VLK being blacklisted. It happened with Windows 7

Update - new download went alright, no problems.


Do I need to uninstall Office 2007 from Control Panel or leave installed?


Thank you.

Just leave it and install Office 2016 - it will do it's thing e.g remove what isn't needed it's self during install.

i had problems (error messages) at work when IT bod installed office 2016 over office 2003. Had to uninstall 2003

Uninstall office 2007 first - you will no longer be using it

libra10

Thank you for advice.


I had already installed Office 2016 over Office 2007.


The control panel is showing Office 2007 separately. The new programme seems to be working perfectly. Will it cause any problems if I now uninstall 2007 version?

AndyPix

No its fine - uninstall it
