Office 2007 MLK

[schrickvr6]

Hey there,

I was just wondering if I buy a laptop along with an Office 2007 medialess license key at the same time, and then order a backup disc from MS for 15eu will I have a fully working and legit Office 2007?

in a word yes.

Medialess kits should only be sold by OEMs that have installed office from their Office pre-installation kits.
But doing it the way you mention should also work....but I don't guarantee anything !

Cheers for that, but has anyone actually done the above and knows it works/doesn't work for sure?

Were you given an standard activation key with your new laptop, if not it is very likely that a reinstall using the licence key you have will NOT work with the Office install DVD.

If you do go down this route I would, advise a guinea pig machine before attempting it on your laptop.
if you are concerned about losing your software, I would be more tempted to invest in a copy of Ghost or some such software for better piece of mind.

Hope this helps
