Reinstalling Publisher 2002 on new PC

[Mark]

Hi - I am about to get a new PC and I know that you cannot
load the same copy of Publisher '02 onto more than one
machine. I've looked thru FAQs and online support but find
no mention of the proper procedure for loading a
previously-registered copy onto a new computer.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

(1) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR PRODUCT ID NUMBER!!! (I don't mean to yell but
without that you'll be back here asking us what to do.)

(2) Assuming that your have a full retail version of Publisher and not an
OEM, uninstall Publisher from the old system. Install it on the new system.
When prompted for the activation, select the phone option. Call the
Microsoft phone number shown in the dialog box and follow the directions. Be
at your computer when making the call.

(3) Start creating with your new system.

Hate to be a pedant, Jo, but the Product ID is the string found when you go
Help > About in any application. You mean the PIK , which is the
installation key.

Pedant away. It is the "Product Key" and if I had just reached up on top of
my shelf I would have seen that. (Another of those cases of two dissimilar
things being named similarly.)

Pedant! Bwahahahahaha! So you are a pretender to
superior knowledge and you admin it, eh? Wonders never
cease. Now how about admitting the rest of your grotesque
failings?!? Failings like self proclaimed netcop control
freak, and breaking the glass in mirrors everytime you
look in them, etc.

Actually Sarah's usage was correct. She was being a teacher and instructing
me in the correct terminology. And I take no offense with that so why should
you?
