Moving Office 2007 Pro OEM to new computer

[DSM]

Hi,

I've got a customer that wants to buy Office 2007 Pro OEM CD/License and
install and activate it on their current computer.

In about 6 months, they plan on scraping/wiping their current computer and
purchasing a new one.

Can they then transfer/install and activate their OEM Office 2007 Pro to the
new computer and activate it (I'm assuming by calling the activation call
center to get a new number)?

The old computer will be wiped/junked an no longer functional.

Thanks

No. OEM is good for that specific machine. Once it dies, that's it. That's
why it costs less than a retail version.
