How to move Office 2003 to another PC?

I bought Office 2003 recently and sucessfully installed it and activated on a
PC. Now I want to remove it from that PC and install it on another one. I
have the CD and the product key, and it is NOT an OEM version, so there
should be no problem with licencing.

I think I read somewhere a suggestion that one phones Microsoft about this,
but I'm in the UK and don't even know if that's possible. With other
software I have on the computer I can first "de-activate" it on the old
computer and then install and re-activate it on the new one, but how do I do
this for Office?

Thank you.

OK, I can answer my own question as I've just done a search for this (should
have done this before, I know...)
People say I'll need to uninstall then reinstall and then phone MSoft and a
really useful post gave me this link to MSoft activation centre international
phone numbers: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/vol/numbers.mspx
and they list the UK numbers:
United Kingdom
(44) (870) 2411-963
(0) (800) 018-8354

No - you only need to call MS if the internet activation fails. If it's
longer than about 100 days since you last activated, the internet activation
should work.
