Transferring Office 2007 Suite to a New PC

Hello,
I just bought a new W10 machine without Office because I have a 2007 version on another PC that I'd like to retrieve.
This 2007 version was installed in 2009 via a CD but (of course..) I no longer have it today...
Do you know how I can recover this old license key to install it on my new PC? Considering that the installation CD is no longer available?

Thanks in advance for your help

Marty

    Hello,

    If you have a retail FPP license (in box), you can install it on a desktop PC and a laptop for the same user, except for the Office Home & Student 2007 suite which allows installation on 3 devices. With an OEM license, it is tied to the machine and cannot be installed on any other machine.
    For volume licenses (Volume Licensing), the license allows installation on a single device.
    For more details, please refer to the "license terms" at http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/

    Otherwise, you can download the Office setup from the Microsoft website:

      Thank you for your quick response.
      However, at the risk of sounding ignorant, can you explain what FPP and OEM mean? Because I'm not sure I understand your answer...

      Thanks again.

      OEM is a license provided that is tied to the hardware. Generally, these are just simple labels stuck on the computers if they are purchased with it. The software is pre-installed in this case.
      FPP is a boxed version. Provided with the license, you either have installation media (DVD, USB stick, etc.) or the option to download the software online.
