How do I reinstall Office XP on a different system

[God''''s Helper]

I am fixing to get a new system, and I want to install my current version of
Office XP version 2002 on it. How do I do that? Since I have already
registered it on this system?

Assuming it is *not* an OEM version...Uninstall it from old system, install
it on new system, use telephone activation if necessary.

Did you purchase this version yourself or was is it a CD from the
older computer that was preinstalled when you bought it?

If it is the preinstalled version, you can't install it on another
system. See this TechTrax article for licensing info:

(Even though you may not be using multiple version, the above still
provides OEM licensing info as an expanation.)

If you purchased the boxed version, you can install it and if you have
problems with the key, call MS and explain to get a valid key.
