Reinstalling "at home" Office 2007

[Markgb4413]

I recieved a copy of Office 2007 and installed with no problems. I need to
format my hard drive but before I do, I was wondering if I will have any
problems reinstalling Office (and Streets and Trips 2008). I normally would
just reinstall but this is an "at home" copy that is good for one install on
one computer. It is going back on the same computer but I don't want any
issues when I go to reinstall it.

You may have to phone activate but that's all.

Its not one install, its as many times as you have to on the origonal PC, if
by 'At Home' you mean an OEM copy, if its a retail copy you can uninstall on
old PC and install on new PC

It is an OEM copy. It was just through work that I got it direct from
Microsoft at a better price. It is going on the same PC so I will go ahead
and format my system (too much junk over the last year) and reinstall it when
I'm done. I will phone it in if there is any problems. Thanks for everyones
help.

Make sure you have the 25 character installation key available before you
dump the programs otherwise you will not be able to reinstall the program.

I also have an employee discount copy. I was able to put this on my desktop,
that the router goes through and also loaded to a wireless laptop. How was i
able to do this if it is only supposed to be one copy?

Employee discount copies may be different in their licensing than an OEM
copy. OEM copies are tied to the hardware on which it is first installed.
I am not familiar with an "employee discount copy" other than the Home Use
Program for Office Enterprise.
