Office de-activation?

[Mercury]

Actually, you are wrong. Once it is activated, it cannot be reused. MS will
not help you on this issue. I note you have not given any links, supporting
your claims, because you are just making this up as you go along. You are
just wasting the OP's time.

Thank you for the responses .. I contacted MS and they were reasonable, but
as has been stated, they can not be re-used. Had they been retail copies I
couuld have possibly spun a story like "I bought a new PC and need to
re-install my
licenced copy of Office" - but not with the OEM product. So I'm out of
pocket.
No vacation for me this year :-(

All Donations gratefully accepted though ....

remove the harddrives from the original machine that
contained the basic edition, oem goes with the hardware,
replace this with a new drive on the machine with the
professional edition.

sell the old drive (with the basic edition attached) or put
into another machine and sell as demo (if you with to be
pedantic) basically the software is attached to a
significant piece of hardware. If there is an issue when
activation is required use the telephone to advise that the
system was upgraded (around the hard drive and or whatever
other hardware you might wish to change over)


If you as an OEM seller cannot get MS to see some reason no
wonder others can't.
