Reformat and office product key

If I reformat my windows, and install microsoft office 2007 again, will the
product key for office still works?

since i already installed office on 3 computer(including this one i am about
to reformat), will the key still work for this computer?

Yes, the installation is for 3 *machines* not installations. Since you will be reinstalling on the same machine, it is not a new installation.

Hi S.N.

There aren't limits on using the product key to install, but there are for activations. If you haven't made significant changes to
the computer since the previous installation you should be able to activate again using the online method. If there are issues with
that use the telephone activation method to speak to an activation tech.
