XP Registration Help

[Larry]

I registered Office XP on a machine a year or so ago. I
now got a new machine and I reinstalled the XP Office on
the new machine and tried to register it but MS says that
the Key that I am using is already registered with
another machine. What do I do now?

If it is a retail product that you purchased, then you can use the telephone
method to activate the software.

If it is an OEM version (came preinstalled on the computer) you cannot reuse
it as it is tied to the computer on which it was installed and cannot be
transferred.
