Just put the CD in the other MB and get the installation file (drag it out of the window where it shows the icon in a Finder window with a fancy background onto the desktop or somewhere else) and transfer it via USB or Dropbox and then it'll be fine. I just did this and everything works flawlessly.

Yes, use the trial and then register it with the product code you get.
Or copy the CD to a USB
Or put a copy on a shared network drive
Or but a cheap DVD drive

How to download Office without a dvd

Even if you buy in the shop they give you a box with a cd. And on the box you have the digital download address for those without a DVD drive so a lot of fuss for nothing! Strange then that you should receive so many complicated answers.
