    I have a copy of MS Office (student teacher edition) installed on three computers. I am retiring my Vista computer. Can I legally install my copy of Office on my new Windows 7 computer?

    You will have no issues installing Office on your new computer, but activating it will be a different matter.

    As there are no means of deactivating Office I suggest you uninstall it from the Vista computer and, having installed it on your Win 7 computer, phone the activation centre and explain what you have done as referenced below - ignore the 'uninstalling is impossible' bit.....
