Reinstalling Office XP on new laptop
Posted by NT on November 18th, 2003


My current laptop is on it's way out and I will be
replacing it soon. Can I install my current registered
Office XP software again on my new computer?

Providing it is a retail boxed version, yes. However, if it came with the
notebook, it's probably OEM and therefore tied forever to that first PC on
which it was activated.

Hi, I have the same question.

I already tried, but when I started registration process I
was tald that the product is already registered on another
computer.

May be I've done something wrong ?

Just use the Activate by Phone option and explain the situation.

It's a toll free number and takes only a couple of minutes.
