I have Office Pro 2007 on cdand installed on my laptop. How do I install it onto me desktop that doesn't have an optical drive? Can I download it and just put in my license key?




 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Are the two computers in the same network group?  You can share the CD drive on the laptop and access it from the desktop:
