Activation problem

Ok, I will try my best to describe my problem.

I have installd Microsoft Office 2003 on my laptop and activated/registered
it online.

For some reason, I have moved to a new place, and I have formatted my laptop.

Now I want to reinstall Microsoft Office 2003 on my laptop again, but I am
afriad

I can't activate it because now I am using a different IP adress.

Does the data base of Microsoft recognize the IP adress I used to activate
to make

sure I am the same user? If yes, does it mean I am screwed?

Thank you!

Microsoft does not care what IP address you use. Activation uses the product
code you enter when you install. You could have a problem if your second
internet activation is too soon after the first {I think the time period is
120 days}. If so, you need to use the telephone option that is provided
when you have a activation problem.

Yes, I have installed and activated it on this laptop. I am going to move
back to my old place after 1 week, i am planning to install and then activate
it on my desktop that is in my old place, is it possiable?
