Microsoft Office Installation

Hi,

I bought Microsoft Office 2007 last year, and I have already installed it on 3 computers.
But I don't use one of the computers anymore.

Since on the package says that it is limited to 3 installations.
Does that mean that I can't install it on my laptop now?

Thanks

You should be able to do a phone activation; it should probably disable the first copy you activated though, but in any case I installed my copy of Office on 3 systems: one laptop that got returned, a second laptop I got as a replacement, and my desktop. I returned the motherboard for the desktop as it became defective, got a replacement, and had to reactivate office. Called them in, and ~6 minutes later it was activated on my desktop. That means I've installed it on 4 computers, and I can only assume they disabled it on the first laptop.

You're supposed to uninstall it on the computer you don't use it on before you install it on any more computers.
