uninstall MS Office 2003 to install on different computer

[Larry Oliver]

We have MS Office 2003 Small Office Edition on a computer that is being
replaced with a new one. The replaced computer had the software installed on
it when we purchased it. This new one does not have anything on it in terms
of Office software. Is it permissible to remove (uninstall) the Office
application (with activation) from the old computer and reactivate it on the
new computer? If not, do I need to purchase yet another version of MS Office?

You cannot transfer an OEM version of Office 2003
to a different computer. You'll need to purchase a
new copy of Office 2003 for the new computer.

The moral of the story being allways buy the *retail* version, and dont be
swayed into a sys purchase by 'free' software supplied.
