OfficeXP - UNinstall before INstall on other computer?

S

Scot

I'm using OfficeXP Pro. I'm changing to a different computer. Do I need to
UNinstall it before trashing this computer and INstalling everything on a
new computer in order for it to continue operating with the blessing of
Microsoft? What is the correct procedure?

If your software is a retail version (Not OEM = came with the computer) you
can uninstall it from the old and install it on the new. If it complains
about the Internet activation, use the telephone method. Takes about 5
minutes and is pretty non-intrusive.
