Too Many Installations

I have a DELL OEM installation disk for Office 2007, however it seems that I
have installed this product too many times. Over the years I either had to
clean my system and re-install or installed on a newly purchased device in
which my last device was stolen.

Do I necessarily have to purchase a new disk to overcome this problem?
Please assist on how I can renew my product key for additional installations.

Warrior,
Are you sure that these Dell OEM installation disks for Office'07 are not for
the trial version? I know that my Dimension E521 came with the installation
Disks for the trial version of MS Office 2003, as well as having it
pre-installed on the HDD. Once activated, you would have full functionality for
60 days I believe, after that, you would loose functionality of programs. You
needed to purchase a license from MS, before the 60 days was up, to change the
trial version into a full version. You need to contact Dell, and check on your
MS Office 2007 license/product key.

No this is not a trial version. Microsoft is stating that I have exceeding
the amount of times in which I could install Office Small Business 2007. The
CD's came with the system, over the years I had to re-install the software
whenever my system had crashed or other. As per Microsoft, it is stated
somewhere in the license agreement that I can not install but so many times.

You use phone activation, explain that you are clean installing on the
original PC
You can install as often as you like, but on line activation may not work

Is that what they told you when you tried phone activation? There
apparently is a limit to the # of activations allowed, even by phone, but
with Outlook 2007 only 2 yrs old, I can't imagine you hit that limit yet,
unless you reformat/reinstall every couple of months or so. (I'm not sure
what the limit it, but I think its about 20 times.)
