Reinstalling Office 2003 on an new machine

[Hank]

I want to install Office 2003 Pro on an new computer. I now have my copy of
this software on another computer. How should I do this? Will I have to
call Microsoft, and if so, who should I call? Thanks.

If you have the retail version you need only to remove it from the old
computer and install on the new computer. You might have to activate by
phone, if so explain what you did and all should be well.

If you have the OEM version you are not allowed to move it to another
computer, once installed, it's bound to the original computer.

I have a version for faculty, staff and students under a campus agreement
with Microsoft. Could this work the same as a retail version... uninstall,
then reinstall on the new machine?

I have Microsoft Office 2003 on my laptop. I want to install it on my home
PC. Can I do this legally and have it on both computers?

If it's a "Retail Version", then yes. If it's
an "OEM Version", then no.

Did it come preinstalled on your laptop?
