Enable office on new machine

[Kurt Ullman]

I just transferred Office from an older MBP to my new one. I am
keeping the MBP. I have two keys left over from when I originally bought
office. So, how do I activate the keys on the new one so I can use both
at the same time. The computers are linked through Airport and I
understand that Office looks for others in use on the networks and
disables doubles.

Just use one of the other CD keys. If you happen to use the same one as
the one on your old MBP, run the Remove Office application, and on the
first screen, hold down the option key and click on Remove licensing
information. Use one of the others the next time you start an office app.

MacOffice doesn't require "activation" the way WinOffice does (i.e.,
call home to Redmond to get permission to run).

How do I use the other CD key on the new one? Same way?
