Uninstalling Office 2004

[grace.0210]

We purchased 3 office licenses.
And I installed one on my mac (intel-based), accidentally using the
same key code that has been
used to install office on another mac. So I uninstalled office on my
machine
and then tried to install again but this time the set-up wizard didn't
even
ask for a key code and proceeded to install office with the same key
code perhaps
because my machine has the previous information stored in its system
somewhere even though I had
uninstalled it.

Does anyone know how I can completely uninstall office and install it
with a new key code?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Grace:

You don't need to completely uninstall.

Simply run the Remove Office tool from your Office "Additional Tools"
folder.

Hold down the Option key while starting it. It will offer a "Remove
licensing information only" choice. Follow the instructions.

When you next launch an Office application, it will ask for a registration
key. Give it a new one.

Cheers
