Reloading Student and Teacher's Edition

M

Ms. B

I had a computer go down due to a virus (lucky me got to
one of the first with a new worm...) and I am rebuilding
the computer and do not want to use licence #3 for Student
and Teacher's Edition for Computer #2 (again). I am
planning on Getting #2 son (a student) his own computer
soon and will need the 3rd licence for that PC. How do I
keep the 3 licences intact to reinstall on the SAME
machine???

Help... I am a teacher and all computers in the house are
used by me or my student children.

If you copy these 2 files and restore them to the new install you will be good to go: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\OPA11.BAK" and "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\opa11.dat". That is what I do, works every time.
