Migrated Office to new machine--how to enter 2nd product key

[Michelle]

I have Office 2004 (Student & Teacher) edition installed on my Powerbook. I
just purchased a new MacBook and migrated all of my stuff over--programs and
data. I will still be using the older machine and the office program on it.

I understand that I need to enter a new product key for the 2nd machine. Is
there a way to do this short of uninstalling and reinstalling? I tried to
look in the menus to see if there was a way/place to do it, but I couldn't
find anything.

If an uninstall/reinstall is the only option, can I choose to leave the old
key/installation on the new machine and use the 2nd key/installation on the
old machine? I'd rather not have to uninstall/reinstall on the new one as
everything is set up the way I want it. If I have to do this process, I'd
rather risk it on the older machine.

Thanks Barry. I had done step one, but had not deleted the items in
step 3. That worked perfectly. Thanks again.
