install office 2003 to another machine

[Dr. Palpatine]

Hi, I have office 2003 installed on one of my machines. I understand that I
can only use 1 license for one machine? I need to install this 1 license to
another machine. Will this cause me problems? If I uninstall from the one
machine, will I have trouble installing it to another machine? Thanks.

Did that copy of Office come pre-installed on your computer when you got it.
If so, it is limited to *that* specific machine and cannot be installed an
any other computer.

If it is a full retail version, uninstall it from the first system and
install it on the second. You will have to use the phone activation and
explain the situation to Microsoft.

 

[Dr. Palpatine]

Does the phone activation cost money? I have read some posts that state
this. This is office 2003 pro, retail version. I am considering buying
another license for one or two machines on my network. Thanks. dr. p.

If you are in the US, it's a toll-free call. I don't know outside of the US.
Some types of calls do involve you paying but not activation.

Because it's retail you can uninstall it and install it on a different
system.

Thanks JoAnn. Because I can uninstall it and reinstall it, are there a
certain amount of times I can do this?

Also, what information does the activation take from my system to
authenticate. I had installed it while it was not connected to the network,
or in the Internet, but it still shows that it was activated. Thanks JoAnna.

There may be a max number of times that you can uninstall from one system
and reinstall on another but I don't know where to look. I would suggest
contacting MS directly for a definitive answer instead of relying on *my*
guesswork/research.

Actually, I am using a 7mg connection, but the system was not connected to
the network at the time it was installed. A mystery to me.
