activate office on "new" computer

[kellytrout1]

Hello. I installed MS Office 2003 (student) on my daughter's computer, and
on both my laptop and my desktop. My laptop crashed and had to be
reformatted. Can I install MSO onto it again (and still activate it?)
Thanks

Yes. Worst case scenario is that you will have to call MS at a toll free
number.
So, begin the install, try to activate. You may get a "call MS" dialog box.
Do that. Talk to the MS type, telling them that you're re-installing a
newly formatted computer that had MSO previously installed and activated.
You will be given a series of numbers to input, and then you're up and
running. If it's been more than 120 days since you first installed, you
probably will not even have to do that.
