Non-OEM rev of Office 2003, PC died, want to move to new PC

[MPJ]

Questions very similar to this one have appeared in other discussions, but I
haven't seen the one that pinpoints my issue.

My old PC died recently, taking my purchased (non-OEM) copy of Office 2003
with it. I installed Office onto my new PC and am getting the License
agreement presented to me every time I open an Office app, and assume it's
because there is a conflict with my old PCs registration.

My questions are: 1) do I need to inform Microsoft that I moved this copy to
a different PC and if so, how do I do this?, and 2) does the License
Agreement appear b/c of the conflict or is it due to something else?

Thanks

In today's Charlotte Observer appeared a column, likely syndicated,
'Help File' by Rob Pegoraro, addressing subject. Transfer of non-OEM
edition would be allowed. "Call the phone number listed on the screen,"
explain, get new activation code.

I found that article - thanks! - but a phone number is not listed on the
screen. Does anyone know the number for Microsoft Office support (hopefully
avoiding the $50 call charge)?

Thanks!
