re-installing office from old PC to new PC

[Staci]

I just bought a new notebook, but it does not have
Office. I want to uninstall my version of Office XP from
my old notebook and put it on my new notebook. Is that
allowed?

Of course. You may have to call an 800 number to explain what you are doing.
I'm not sure if the 120 day rule applies to Office as it does to WinXP.

HTH,

If the current version was preinstalled on the old notebook then it is
non-transferable. Otherwise uninstall it and reinstall on the new device.

Hi,
I believe there is nothing wrong with uninstalling your
Office XP from your old notebook to your new one. You are
not violating any copyright rules because all you are
doing is using your own office program on a different
machine. If you were duplicating the program to give it to
someone else, that would be a copyright violation. Hope
this helps. Please let me know if this helped you. Please
email me back at (e-mail address removed) to confirm that
this helped you.

Good luck!
