Well, I read through the EULA (boy, that was fun!) and apparently, it's
dependent on whether I've got a Retail, OEM, or MLK license.
To find out which, the EULA states:
"To determine which License Terms apply to you check the license designation
printed either on your product key, near the product name on your Certificate
of Authenticity, or on the download page if you obtained your product key
online. "
Well, I've got a printed Product Key that was in the 'Launch 2007 Resource
Kit', but it doesn't have any 'license designation' wording that I can find.
To get Office 2007, the resource kit directed me to download the 'trial'
version of the package, and then apply the Product Key that was in my printed
Kit.
I'm going to try going to the Trial Version download page to see if there is
a EULA there...
