Re: Couple of question about Office license

The COA key is used to verify, if necessary, that you have purchased a legitimate, non-counterfeit product. It would be used, if necessary, along with a sales receipt to prove ownership.

The product key is used for activation.

If you fully uninstall Office, or can show that the computer on which it was installed is no longer functional, then you would free an activation. You very likely would have to call Microsoft at the time you wish to active if their records show three existing activations; but the explanation of either of the facts -- it was uninstalled, or the installed instance is on a no longer functioning computer, would suffice.

Hi everybody,

I recently bought a 3-user license of Office Home/Student. I just have a couple of questions:

1. It came with a COA code on the top of the box and a product code inside the box. I understand the product code inside the box is what I will use to activate Office...so what is the COA code used for?

2. With the 3-user license does it mean as long as I am not using it on more than 3 PC's AT ONE TIME then it is okay? Or does it mean I can only install it on 3 PC's ever?
---Meaning if I install on 3 PC's in my house today and one PC either breaks down or I replace it can I use the a license on the new PC since the old PC would not be used anymore?

Thanks for reading.
