I have Office Mac 2008 home/student on my MBP. I have only used one of three product keys.

I bought a MBA and migrated the Office program but I can't figure out how to activate the second key for use on the Air. I think it thinks I am using the same key twice (I guess I am) so it shuts down if the MBP version is open at the same time.

I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling on the Air, but the program is on a CD, so that won't work.

What can I do?

Thanks for your help
