How do I move Access 2007 to another computer?

[David Bryan]

I installed (and activated) Access 2007 on my desktop and laptop (two
installs max). Then I bought Office Ultimate 2007 (includes Access), and want
to install it on those same computers. However, I don't want to lose my two
previous Access activations. If I uninstall them, will the activations be
"freed up", so that I can install it again on a third computer I own?

Not to my knowledge. However if activation in the future complains at
you then using the phone number to call Microsoft directly is supposed
to work.

According to folks at the top of Microsoft management they are not too
concerned about these kinds of situations. They are more concerned
about hundreds of thousands or millions of PCs using the same license
key.

Thanks, Tony. Do you know whether uninstalling it has any effect on the
number of licensed activations I get? In other words, by uninstalling, do I
get an activation back?
