Installing Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus on a netbook without a CD/DVD drive

Q: I'd like to install Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus on a netbook without a CD/DVD drive, and I've tried to download the trial version from the internet and then upgrade using our MAK but to no avail.

A: To install Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus on a netbook, your best option is to download the installers from the Microsoft Volume Licence Service Centre (where you retrieve your keys). These are different installers to the trial version, so will accept your MAK key.
