Multiple Licenses

I have a family pack of Office 2008 Student and Teacher Edition, and have used two of the licenses. I just bought a new 'book and transferred files from my main computer, which gives me 2 instances of Office. Is there some way I can change the serial number of the 'book version without deleting and installing Office over again--which would negate the reason I used the transfer in the first place.

Thanks for any help,

I have a family pack of Office 2008 Student and Teacher Edition, and have used
two of the licenses. I just bought a new 'book and transferred files from my
main computer, which gives me 2 instances of Office. Is there some way I can

I don't advise migrating over the install of Office. I would install from
the DVD then update. You could drag over the newer version after the initial
install, but the installer will place files that are necessary for Office
and we've seen cases where migration caused a lot of problems.

This will help you reset.
