Default Media disk for office 2007 from MS?

I have searched the MS website but cannot find this.

I bought a licence but it came without the media. Is there way to
buy a CD from MS or download from the MS Website?.

I could of course download it from a non official website but I am
reluctant to do so since i have paid for my licence.
TIA

The Media Disk only came with Office XP (2002). All the media you will ever need
is on the Office web pages.

I think he means the office key, purchased without media (Office 2007 DVD)
as available from some online sites, primarily aimed at system builders

You need to look at the little sticker that you received with your purchase
that has the 25 character license key on it. In the lower right corner if
it does not say FPP or OEM then you have a technically pirated program (one
purchased outside of the license that would be agreed to by the installation
of the software.

If it says MLK that is a medialess license kit key that is supposed to be
sold only to people that have purchased an "Office ready" PC within the last
60 days. If it is in fact a MLK then you need to return the key and all
other packaging to the place of purchase for a refund and then advise them
that they are selling the product against the license.

See the following articles for more information on the MLK: (some of these
sites are out of the US but they still are valid)

http://www.microsoft.com/malaysia/of...ready/faq.mspx

http://www.microsoft.com/office/back...s/default.mspx

http://oem.microsoft.com/public/seo/...ice_system.htm

If it says FPP or OEM then you should have received a DVD with the key.
Contact the place of purchase to uncover the location of the DVD.

It says MLK. It is genuine and i did purchase it with a office ready
PC. I simply need the media.

Does anyone know if I can obtain the media from MS directly if not i
guess i will have to risk a downloaded copy from a third party
website.

Thanks

I cannot find it on that webpage. It would likely be a ISO file
approx 500Mb in size.

You are correct. I cant believe how difficult it is to get hold of a
simple cd. The licence is the expensive part i thought MS would be
giving the cd's away free to trial.
