Reinstalling after reformatting

Hi,


Complete noob, please be patient. Having some trouble with lack of space on my hard drive, want to reformat my computer to deal with this. I have the original cds I used to install Norton and Word, however, each can only be use on three computers and I've done that on family members computers. If I reformat will I be able to reinstall these programmes?

Am using Windows Vista, Word 2007, and Norton 360 if that helps any. Thanks

If the machine you want to reformat is one of the three using the licences then yes, you should be able to reinstall Nortons and Word (Office?).

You may have to use telephone activation but as I haven't used Norton for many years now and don't have a multiple install of any MS Office software, I honestly don't know the procedure.

But if you paid for the stuff and each is installed on only two other machines then it seems to me you have the right to install each on a third.
