getting office xp on my new computer

[Brad]

I currently own a copy of office xp standard and have it installed on my pc, however tomorrow I will be picking up my new computer and wanted to get office xp installed on it. Is it possible to do so without buying a new copy. I also would like to keep office on my existing pc.

In help search for EULA, this is the agreement you accepted when the
software was installed/first used.
The general EULA is one PC and one laptop providing both are owned and used
by you; not two PC's.

If I was to remove office from my existing pc I would be able to use the office cd to load it on my new computer though... right?

Hi Brad,

This depends on whether or not Office XP is an OEM version. If it came
preinstalled on your computer then it is licensed to that computer and
it is nontransferable.

The EULA is what you accepted when the software was installed/first used.
It will tell you what you can do with the software, and now many times you
can install it.
The EULA should be your first point of enquiry when it comes to licencing
issues since it is THE agreement you are bound by.
