Hi Carey,

Is the same true for Office XP/2002?

What is the procedure to transfer the Office 2003 license from my old
computer to my new Vista computer? I bought a new computer with Vista and
will junk my old XP system.

TIA,
jim

To be in proper complience, you need to uninstall it from the old computer.
Then install on the new computer and follow the normal procedure for
activation when presented, usually the first time you open an application.
If it's been awhile since it was activated on the old computer the new
activation may just go through.

If installation on the old computer was relatively recent, you may be
prompted to call and provided a phone number. Just tell the operator this
is a new computer, you've removed the software from the old computer and the
operator will activate over the phone.

If Office 2003 was purchased with the old computer, it is likely an OEM
license which cannot be transferred. It is 'part of' the old computer

The license is tied to the hardware, but there is nothing preventing you
from installing it on another machine.

You're right, Tom and I certainly should have mentioned that if it was an
OEM version that came with his previous computer, it cannot be transferred.
