    Where to download Office 2007 with product key?


    Hi all,

    I have Office 2007 and I'm wanting to install it on my netbook after having just done a clean install of W10 on it.

    Does anybody know if there's a website out there where I can download a "free trial" of Office 2007, then enter my product key?

    I know that Microsoft has a dedicated website here: Microsoft Office Downloads , but that website requires you to create a Microsoft Account and attach your Office product key to that specific account. I don't really want to do this. Does anyone know if there's an alternative way to install Office, other than using a USB DVD player?

    Try here: https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/o12/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-GB&ref=o12


    If the download is an ISO just extract all it's files to a folder then run setup from that folder.

    The only one that you can still get through newegg.com, etc. is Office 2010. That is because it is being used in the Enterprise at this time. All previous editions have been pulled, along with their keys have been Black listed if not installed.

    You can use the online neutured version of Office, or use Libreoffice, which works great. Or there is always Google Office suite.

    I put in my product key and solved the captcha, but then I see this:

    After I click next, it asks me to sign in to a Microsoft Account.

    I'm not interested in buying Office. I don't think I was clear, sorry. What I mean is that I already have Office 2007 Home and Student, purchased in 2008. I am trying to install it on a computer without a DVD drive and without having to create a Microsoft Account.

    What do you mean, "black listed"? Black listed from what? I installed Office 2007 on my desktop using the DVD I bought in 2008 with no problems in Windows 10. Bill Gates once said a few years ago that ANY Microsoft software product that a person buys will always be compatible with later versions of Windows, and that applies to Office, of course.

    You are not buying office. You have to sign into the account, so that Microsoft tracks who downloads software off of their servers. It is Zero, as it shows, because you are going to download an ESD ISO to install on what media you are going to use to install.

    As for Black Listed, that means that you can no longer activate the software, because it is End Of Life (EOL). In other words, no longer supported.

    Bill Gates has nothing to do with this. It is the fact that no company is going to support software that has been updated with newer versions. Yes they are compatible, but the current version most people are using right now is Office 2010 in most offices. 2013 at home and small offices. Those with Office 365 Subscriptions can use Office 2016 if they wish.

    So does it lock to the "Microsoft Account"?

    That's not true. Office 2007 is still supported by Microsoft, in fact, 2 days ago (Nov. 10) I received multiple security updates for Excel 2007 from Windows Updates, and I installed Office 2007 from DVD on my desktop a few months ago when I did a clean install of W10.

    Office 2007 SP3 is still supported by MSFT until 2017: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle?p1=8753

    What I meant about Bill Gates is the following quote:

    "Bill Gates once said, you can purchase a license from Microsoft for a particular product and never buy another one. The power is still in the consumers hands and pocket. Office 2000, 2002, 2003 even have a compatibility pack that allows you to open and save files created in 2007 or 2010, so you are not forced to upgrade either."

    Also, as of May 2010, 81% of businesses are running Office 2007. (Source: Forrester: Google still a distant Office competitor | ZDNet)

    Couldn't even find an option for anything else. Someone on SF wanted the ISO option.

    Locked, I can't really say. But it is connected, as soon as you complete the process they send you a receipt email.

    Your key is locked to your account and that is all that it is. But for accounting purposes. Microsoft has to show who downloaded what for free, since Microsoft is "Gifting" it to you. Also their servers tie the key with your name and your machine, once it is installed. That way you cannot just hand over the key to a bunch of people. You are only allowed one desktop and one laptop or tablet install under the key.

    Usually after 6 installs, Microsoft will lock the key and the only way to get it unlocked is to call in and talk to someone. They will ask you a few questions to verify that you are only installing it on 1 new machine under the license, then give you the unlock code.

    Take the disc and empty USB flash drive to a computer that has a DVD and just copy the files over to the USB flash drive.
