Hello I got the Acer Aspire One netbook computer. It does not have a CD
reader. I would like to install the following program: Microsoft Office
Standard Edition 2003 for students and teachers.

I already have the program installed om my first computer. Microsoft in
Sweden said that I was allowed to use the program on 3 computers so I want it
in the Acer also. I have bought the program properly and I have the product
key as well as the installation cd:s. I was hoping to find some homepage to
download the program in exchange for my product key or something.

1. Doesn´t it work that way?
2. Can I copy some file regarding the Office program on my first and mail it
to the Acer? Which one?
3. Any other way to do it?

/Ove

Three ways to do it. There are NO download options available.

1. Purchase a USB external CD/DVD drive which will allow you to install
this and any other CD/DVD program and to also burn CD/DVDs in the future.
They aren't really expensive.
2. Go to a computer that has a CD/DVD drive and copy the entire CD/DVD to a
USB flash drive that will hold at least 500 MB. Then plug that drive into
the netbook and install from there.
3. If you have a home network, map the desktop's CD/DVD drive on the
netbook, put the CD/DVD in the desktop computers drive and install from
there.

Option 1 has the greatest long term benefit.

 

Hello LVTravel. Just wanted to say that I tried your alternative 2. It worked
beautifully. Thank you./Ove
