Re-install the software on the replacement for stolen computer?

Can I reinstall the software I have valid licenses for the computer I bought to replace a computer that was stolen during a robbery?

A re - install existing software would trigger audits by companies like Microsoft?

In other words, if I install the software on the replacement of a stolen computer, do free installation or I have to buy an additional license?

Here is what happened.

Early in the morning of May 29, burglars broke into my house and stole several pieces of electronic equipment high-end, including my last desktop PC. As soon as I discovered the break-in, I pointed out to the police. The next day, I gave the police a full list of the serial numbers of the stolen equipment. The fact of the break-in and the equipment that was stolen is now public knowledge.  The serial numbers of the stolen equipment are on the national register of stolen equipment.

Stolen computer included several software installations expensive, high-end, including Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft Project 2007 and Microsoft Visio 2007.

A week ago, I bought a replacement unit for the stolen desktop PC. I need to re - install software on PC replacement. I checked the EULA, and they are silent on this issue.

I have all the DVD and the original product key.

I do not know who to contact to Microsoft or anyone else to get an answer to this question.

Read this forum someone an idea if I can legally re - install the software without having to buy new licenses?

If you have the original installation media, and product keys/certificates of authenticity - the software is yours.  Install it.

(Although I wouldn't call Microsoft Office 2007 all that "high-end".  (* smile *)

  • I can't install the Flash for Firefox plugin

    I can't install the plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). Flash I tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 to the Adobe Download Center. There is no error messages or warnings during installation.
    The Flash for IE plugin works very well.

    I have all tried, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re - install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything again... still the same problem.

    Hello

    I don't think that it has something to do with the software pre-installed Toshiba.
    I recommend the forum of firefox or flash installation support.

    PS: I read on the net that it is possible that flash player has been placed in the right folder and links shows on the wrong file. Someone has checked and changed manually.
    Try a bit of google.

  • do not install the driver for XP photosmart 5510

    I tried in vain several times to install the driver for my refurbished XP for my laptop HP photosmart 5510. I said I want to install via radio - he finds the printer and lets me select - then it starts the installation.  It gets about two-thirds through the bar of "installing network printer." "and crashes.

    I let it rest, go to walk my dogs, prepare dinner, and it moves of there.  When I click on cancel, it crashes during the phase cancellation and I'm relegated to "force quit" process.  It's annoying!  All I want to do is wireless printing.  Scanning the computer would be an asset.

    BTW, I had NOT of PROBLEMS installation on laptop of my wife under System 7.

    Internet works and tried repeatedly, without success. There is also a vertical line on the screen of the computer that is still increasing so much width every day. Is this related?

    The vertical line is a strong indication that your screen is failing.  You will need a technician to replace it.  It will be not cheap.  Make sure that they install EXACTLY the good screen.

  • Cannot install the license for the virtual wireless controller vWLC 8.1.102.

    In the web interface there is no option 'orders of license '.

    Please tell me how to add an individual license by CLI?

    Just since the 8.1 software there is no need to install a license on the vWLC file over, it is based on a model of confidence now. You can simply set the number of AP you have and save the license somewhere as 'evidence' you really the number of licenses purchased. You can find more information in This Q & A.

    If it's a camera for INTEL it website should have the good

    Some older hardware will not work on newer 64-bit systems.

    check your websites of manufacturers of games for win7 64 bit compatibility.

    Try your game in compatibility mode in Windows 7.

    to say the least there are a huge amount of games and

  • L750D-14R satellite - cannot install the driver for the TouchPad Win7

    Hello

    I have a problem with drivers for the touchpad. I downloaded v 15.2.11.1 Synaptics and me couldn't install them.
    "Installation of Synaptics (sync TP) ranked" I've got Windows 7 x 64. I've looked everywhere but I can't find any information on this problem.

    If someone knows what can go wrong and how can I fix this problem I would appriciate it.

    Never had any problems with installing the touchpad driver.
    I guess its not the touchpad driver problem but the problem with your system.

    First, you must uninstall the old driver for the touchpad.
    This can be done in the control panel-> programs & features

    Clean the system using some freeware like for instance CCLeaner tools.
    Restart the laptop between procedures.

    Then download driver Synaptics driver Toshiba UE page.
    Alternatively, you can try to install the driver for the Synaptics driver page: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers
    In my case it worked and this driver has added some additional options that I would change in the Synaptics touchpad settings
