Install Office 2003 on new computer?

[Phyllis]

Hi,
I have a boxed full version of Office Pro 2003 installed and activated on an
old computer. May I install this software on a new computer? I do have the
discs and Product Key.

According to Microsoft, you *may* install it on only one machine so you
would, again, according to MS, have to remove it from the old computer
to be in compliance with your license terms as stipulated in the End
User License Agreement (EULA). If it's been more than 120 days since the
last activation, you *can* install it on two computers simultaneously.
Whether you want to do that or not is your call.

Thank you, Alias
I would have no problem removing it from the old computer, since I would be
buying a new computer to replace the old one and recycling my old computer.

I am not sure if I have "activated" in the last 120 days. I have probably
verified that it is a genuine Microsoft copy in the last 120 days. Does that
count as an activiation?

Only The Shadow Knows what evil lurks in the heart of WPA or WGA and he

You'll only find out when you go to install it on the new computer and,
if so, you'll have to phone activate.
