Rick,
I depends a little on what you did with your old PC. Do you plan on
keeping it? Some applications allow two installations, one for a desktop
and one for a portable while other applications only allow installation
on one PC. Check the End User License Agreement (EULA) for your version
of Project.

If you are NOT keeping your old PC, then just make sure to un-install
Project (any any other apps you want to keep) before you discard or give
it away. You might just want to re-format the hard drive to clear
everything. Or, if you are going to send you old PC to recycling, you
could just remove the hard drive and use it as a second drive in your
new PC. In that case, the whole issue goes away.

Once you have addressed your old PC, all you need to do with your new PC
is to install your apps from your original CD. You will have to
re-activate them once they are installed. If you don't have the original
CD you will have to buy new versions.

Hi John!

My actual problem is that MS Project indicates "this license is already
activated by other computer", i dont want to keep my old pc, in fact i've
formated it to erase all programs. What can i do?
