Office de-activation?

Geoffw

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.

More useless advice. If Geoffw had read the OP, he said the professional
license was installed over the basic edition, so how could the license be
recovered? The answer is still no, the license is lost.

I did

re install the original - format - if this is really
necessary and use phone to reactivate - of course it is re
useable

The advice here is top get an operational basic office and
an operational pro office. If the systems are only setup to
OS and office format to get back to original, if you want to
be really pedantic replace the HD in the first machine and
re activate office using the telephone.

Build another machine around the hard drive from the first
machine and install pro, re activate using the telephone if
necessary.

This person is trying to recover from an error, they have
done nothing illegal and will not if they want to be a
lateral,

A bit of thinking yourself might help
