New computer

Hi, I recently bought a new computer since my hard drive
crashed on my old computer. I want to install MS Office
XP on it. However, I already registered it on the broken
computer. Could I use the same key again?

If Office XP came pre-installed on the old computer (OEM version), then no
you cannot transfer it. You must purchase a new license. If you bought
Office XP in a store (retail copy), then yes you can. If you run into
problems with activation, simply use phone activation and explain the
situation to Microsoft.
