Can I still instal Office 97?

[XS11E]

Friend(s):
Sorry, that did not work. However, I went back to the shop I
purchased it from and believe I have the answer. Unfortunately, I
do not know if there is anything I can do about it.

I have an OEM licence for the product. About two years ago I had
probelems and upgraded the CPU, files were copied to the new PC,
which meant we did not have a problem. Now the hard disc has been
reformated we have a problem.

I find this most surprising as the because the certificate says
"For distribution only with new PC hardware". Not the life of the
the licence is limited to that of the hardware product. There does
not seem to be any other indication (at least on the material I
currently have) that the licence is restricted in any
way.......You just need to know what the OEM in the product ID
means.

Is there anything that can be done, or do we just have to lump it.

I don't think that's your problem. Office 97 does not require
activation and the OEM version should install with no problem even if
the installation is illegal (I don't think it is since if I understand
correctly you've got the same motherboard, same harddrive and same
case).

So start over again and tell us exactly what happens as you try to
install it and any error messages that might come up.

Actually, it is a differet motherboard, harddrive and case
to what we we purchased with this version of Office.

What I have done, which seems to have worked is
reinstalled the office products we had when I was using
Windows 3.1.... These were the versions before we upgraded
the hardware. We reinstalled those then upgrade to the
Office 97. As I wrote, it seem o.k. )

Thank you for your assistance.
Kind Regards,

Roy
