New Hard Drive

L

Lance

I'm planning on installing a new hard drive on my computer that presently has
Office 2007 on it. How can I install windows Office 2007 on the new hard
drive if my license is for the old one? Same computer, new hard drive. Do I
have to pay for a new license? Can the old on be transferred somehow?

Google "Clone Hard Drive". Your license is for the motherboard, not the
hard drive if you have an OEM copy of Office. If you have a retail copy,
your license is for a specific number of installations at one time.

In addition to Google, a new retail hard drive will likely include a cloning
program or you can download one from the maufacturer's site.

You may want to consider a image/backup program such as Acronis True Image
Home or Norton Ghost. In addition to image/backups {which IMO you should be
doing}, both support hard drive cloning.
