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

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.
