Changing computers & licensing issues

S

I have MS Office Pro, 2007 that allows up to 3 installs on 3 seperate
computers. I have just purchased a new computer and would like to reinstall
one of these licenses to my new computer. Does anyone know if I remove the
software from the old computer, will I be able to do that? I know that a
network would most likely solve this problem but I've never been successful
in establishing a home network.. I appreciate any help you can give me.

There isn't any mechanism for transferring a license automatically.

Uninstall the software from the old computer and install it on the new computer.
When you activate Office, if the online activation tells you that the licenses
are all in use, use the telephone activation number instead and speak with a
Product Support rep.

Networking home PC's is a fairly straightforward process, particularly if
the same o/s is on each PC
Being on a network would not have any advantage in moving the Office
installation.
There is a networking group for issues

You might want to check the EULA again, or the Version. Home and student
is 3 installations, Pro is at best 2, one on your main PC and a second
