Hi daddle. For me all I wanted was to get the machine running again and the possibility of using it just for creating documents on a very occasional basis. I am very much a Mac person and I have my main iMac and a small Mac Air for going away. The Medion was a very old machine I gave to someone and subsequently rescued when I heard it was due for the tip! I appreciate your thoughts, but I will pass as it does all I need it to do.   In terms of the Office software my situation may be slightly different. I did all this a long time ago so I think this is what I did! The software I bought was Office Home and Student 2010 with a product key only (for one device only). I downloaded the software from the net and burnt it to a CD-R in case I needed it again. At the time I used it on another laptop which I have subsequently converted to Linux (just to learn a bit about the system). For the Medion I simply loaded the CD via an external CD device, added the product key and all went as it should. Your issue puzzles me as you have a 3 device licence. Sounds to me like a Microsoft issue for them to sort.   Again my thanks and I really do appreciate your help. For me I have got to the place where I am happy with the Medion. ... View more
