Reinstall Office Software

[Graham]

I purchased Office 2007 in March 2007. I have just bought a new PC and want
to transfer the Office software. I realise the license is only for one PC but
Microsoft tell me I can uninstall and then install on the new PC.

Is it that straightforward? Once I have uninstalled can I then use the
original license key to install on the new PC?

If you have an OEM license of Office, then no. It stays with the original
computer. If it's retail, then you can move it to another computer.

Yes, as long as the software isn't pre-installed by the original equipment
manufacturer on your old PC (and therefore legally tied to the old PC), then
you can transfer the license by uninstalling it from the old PC and
re-installing it on the new PC.
