These HOBBLED Microsoft products stink.
Let's see if I understand you correctly. You have a copy of Office XP
that was installed at work.
If it is an OEM copy, it cannot be installed anywhere else.
If it is retail, as long as it is not on your work PC, you can install
it at home. To activate it you need to use the phone method. Once your
work PC is back you must uninstall it at home in order to install it
at work. You'll again need to use the phone activation.
Read the EULA for your version for the exact rules. A retail copy can
probably be installed on one desktop and one laptop as long as you are
the primary user of both and both are not being used at the same time.
Again, read the EULA.

|| I have Microsoft office XP. It has been installed on a computer at
|| work. That computer's hard drive died, so I installed my copy of
|| office on my computer home so that I can work from home. It will not
|| allow me to activate it as it has already been installed once and
|| activated. The computer at work will be returning complete with new
|| hard drive, which means I will have to reinstall Office at work
|| also. What do I do now. How many times are you allowed to install
|| a copy of Office and how is it tracked.
||
|| Thanks
