Access activation question

[John Barnes]

Have a new computer with Office XP small business pre-
installed (doesn't have Access 2002). Have a copy of
office xp pro installed on another machine (has Access
2002). Is it possible to unistall the other version of
office, then install Access 2002 onto the new machine? I
am not sure what would happen to the activation. I would
uninstall the office xp pro from the old machine, but can
find no documentation about how to de-activate a product.

Thanks.

When you install the software on the other machine, it will ask you to
activate it, just as though it had never been installed anywhere. I'm not
sure what happens on the MS end, but I've done it a dozen times and never
had any problems.
