Can I reload Office to another computer?

Is it possible to take my current Office 2003 program and change it over to
another computer instead of buying another program ? eg: I want to take my
home copy which I don't need and put it on my work computer?

I'm going to read between the lines here and guess that Office was supplied
with your home system (because if you didn't need it, you wouldn't have
bought it, right?) If this is the case, the answer is no, as OEM software is
tied to the first computer it's installed on - or, as in this case, sold
with. You may *NOT* transfer it to any other system - it is tied to your
home computer forever. Read the EULA.

"Software as a Component of the Computer - Transfer. THIS
LICENSE MAY NOT BE SHARED,
TRANSFERRED TO OR USED CONCURRENTLY
ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS. The SOFTWARE
is licensed with the HARDWARE as a single integrated
product and may only be used with the HARDWARE. If the
SOFTWARE is not accompanied by new HARDWARE, you may
not use the SOFTWARE."

If you wish to have Office on your work computer you must purchase it for
that system. Are you self-employed, or do your work for an employer? If the
latter, then your employer should provide you with the software you need to
do your job efficiently.

Yes if your copy is the retail version, just uninstall it at home and
install it on your work computer.

If your copy is an OEM version, see Miss Perspicacia Tick's reply.
