Default Will uninstalling Microsoft 2007 add 1 back to the 3 I can use?

Hello,


I would like to recover my laptop back to factory settings. If I uninstall Office 2007 will it add this verison back to the 3 that I can install? Thanks Kris

Yes, if you uninstall your copy of Office 2007 from that machine, the license that was installed on that machine will be available to install on another.

If the activation on the new computer fails, choose the "Activate by Phone" option and let the tech know that it was uninstalled from the previous computer prior to being installed on the new one. There's really nothing more that you need to do.

Hi Kris,

Uninstalling Office doesn't update anything with MS, so that doesn't 're-credit' your license. Conversely, reinstalling on the same machine doesn't 'debit' your license, since the registration db at MS will recognise that there is already a license for that machine.
