Microsoft Office CD replacement?

**jmw_man** · 03-11-11, 06:25 PM

Title says it all. I have 2007 professional and the CD is fairly scratched up and I've tried getting it to work on several machines but it's like the CD drive just freezes up on all of the machines. Is it possible to get a replacement CD?

Yes. Call Microsoft. In the past, as long as it was a retail copy (you have the physical CD), they could send you a replacement CD for $10 or 15, which is well worth it if they are still offering. From their web site:

U.S. customers can contact the Microsoft Order Desk at the following phone number:

if your cd is based of serial key, you may actually be able to just use the online office 2007 professional trial (which asks for a optional key during install) which you can download off Microsoft site.

I always make ISO images of my software and store it on a server for just this reason. There are many free iso creation tools out there. Backing up your software is perfectly legal, just don't install it on anything you don't have a license for.

My father-in-law's laptop came preinstalled with the trial of Office 2010. Bought a license and just inputted it and didn't have to install anything.
