Office Serial Number

[Gingerbreadmac]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

hey, am just about to reformat my mac by uninstalling and reinstalling mac OS X, this obviously means all programs and files will be uninstalled and erased. When i come to reinstall microsoft office will i be able to use the same serial number as i did originally? With the package i was given 3 serial numbers however we have 3 computers at home ad have used them all.
Any advice welcome
Thanks

I am not certain but it seems to me that it is still your serial number. Maybe someone else is certain.

Yes, you can use the same key again. Office for Mac does not use activation.

I hope you know the exact number you used, often when users have the 3 keys
they don't keep track of which number was used on which computer. If you use
the same key, you'll get a warning that will not allow you to use Office
until you get the correct key entered.

Barbara, the reason some people ask this question is some software uses
online activation to prevent you from installing more copies than your
license permits. If you intend to remove the software from a particular
computer, you have to signal this to the online servers to reclaim your
license key.

This is NOT the case with Office for Mac, which does not use online
activation.
