Multiple Installation Question

Hi Berk -

IIRC the offer gave you the option of taking either the Home & Student
edition (which provides 3 product keys) *or* the Special Media Edition
(which includes only 1 but has "other stuff" included). I can't remember the
specifics and there were a couple of promotions which ran concurrently.
Unfortunately, all promos have ended & the sites have been taken down, but
you should have kept a record of what you submitted.

The EULA for the 2008 Special Media Edition (which is what it sounds like
you have) allows installation on one "desktop" & one "portable" system for
use by the owner of the license and permits running one installation or the
other at a time. If you are in fact upgrading to the new Mac (replacing the
previous unit) rather than *adding it* to your 'collection' of active Macs
you should have no problem. There is no limit to the number of installs
using the same key. It primarily prevents Office apps installed using the
same key from running simultaneously on a network.

I have Office 2004 and Office 2008 set up in different Users. That keeps
preference files completely separate. I use fast user switching when I need
to check something out in Entourage 2004. 
 

Thanks for the nice compliment. The unprecedented set of improvements in SP1
was attributed to the reports sent in through the MERP tool. There were
almost 50 improvements to Entourage alone.

The serial number is valid no matter what localization of Office you use
though. If you "lay a hand" on an English install CD, you can install it
and use your serial number with it.
If I were you, I would uninstall the French version using the
uninstaller first though.

Will ODF support also be available for Office 2008?

Your effort to be helpful is certainly appreciated, but what does all this
have to do with the problem stated by the OP? Especially since the OP
reported back - a week ago - that the problem had already been resolved as a
result of Diane's initial response.

FYI - The only reason for the distinction in specs between Mac Office
Professional & the other 2004 editions is due to the inclusion of Virtual
PC, which requires more system resources to run. There's no difference in
the other Office apps themselves from one edition to the other.
