Office for Mac 2008 License key transfer?

[Jonas89]

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 Home and Student edition. It is to my
understanding that I have 3 license keys. I've already used up all 3 license
keys on 3 different computers.

However, this is my situation. I bought a new Mac and want to install Office
on it. Am I able to uninstall Office on my old Mac, then install Office on my
new Mac with the same license key I use on my old Mac? Or what should I do?

Thanks!

Yes, the End User License Agreement permits you to remove from one system &
use that same key on another as many times as you wish.

In fact, you can use each key on *2* systems concurrently, although the
'technical' language of the EULA stipulates that it should be 1 portable & 1
stationary Mac. It further stipulates that you can't run any Office app on
the second of the 2 while any Office app is being used on the other, and if
the 2 are on the same network the software will be prevented from launching
on one if any Office apps are already running on the other.

Hello!
I have a Mac Book Pro (still a novice mac user) and installed Office
for Mac 2008 about a year ago. My husband just purchased his own mac
book pro yesterday and I installed my office software onto it as I
thought I had up to 3 licenses but every time I open it up on his
computer it states:

"An office program is being used by Ski Tamarack. Your Installation
exceeds then number of installations permitted by the license
agreement. Click More Information to go online to learn about
Microsoft Office Licensing"

When they say 3 licenses, does this mean networked computers? We are
not networked.

I have two sleeves in my software box, one for Office for Mac Media
Addition AND Office Mac. Each one has a different product key. I tried
to follow the instructions on how to delete a product key by getting
rid of the Product key so I can try another one but that is not
working. It makes me delete these OfficePIDlplist??? files. I trashed
them, empty trash and then restart. then when I open word (or any
office program) then the set up assistant is suppose to start up so I
can enter a new product code. Yeah, that's not working. And I don't
know how to delete an entire program honestly for a mac.


I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks!
