Can't activate Office 2007 on laptop nueVo_soL 5/28/2007 3:01:00 PM If this is in the wrong forum, sorry. Not too sure where i was meant to put it. I recently purchased a subscription license from the "itsnotcheating.com.au" uni student offer, for 1 year. After installing it onto my desktop successfully, i tried to install it on my laptop using the same product key i used on the desktop. Unfortunately, it says when i activate it on the internet, since my product key was already used and activated on my desktop comp, i can't use it again. It also doesn't allow me to activate it over the phone, so now i'm stuck. According to the terms of purchase, i can use this key on a desktop AND a portable computer used by me. So i was wondering, how would i go about activating it now? Thanks for any help.

Re: Can't activate Office 2007 on laptop nueVo_soL 5/29/2007 2:55:00 AM This was an offer run by Microsoft for uni students in Australia. We pay for a real product key, at a much cheaper price. http://www.microsoft.com/australia/education/unistudentoffer/default.mspx Offer's over now, and MS closed down the website. Anyways, my problem was activating Office on my laptop after activating on a desktop, using the same key. According to the terms, i can use the key legally on a portable AS WELL as the desktop. When i try, it says i can't. Any help? IF this is the wrong place to ask, anyone can tell me where to post this? Thanks for helping.

During the activation process it should give you a number to call.
