Re-install

My old computer died. The funeral is today. The
software that came with it includes Officexp Pro. What
will happen when I install my old software on a new
computer as far as activation goes? Won't it look like I
am running the same software on both computers?

When you try to install it on the new machine you will probably
be presented with the following message: According to our records,
this copy of Microsoft Office XP edition has already been activated
on another computer. If you believe you have received this message
in error, please contact a Customer Support Representative by
clicking OK and following the instructions.

- Click OK when the message appears.
- In the Office Activation Wizard dialog box, select Activate by using
the telephone, and then click Next.
- Click Next in the Microsoft Office Privacy Policy dialog box.
- In the Activate your product by using the telephone dialog box,
select your country or region in the list for step 1.
- Dial the phone number that is displayed next to step 2. A customer
support representative will assist you with activating your copy of
Office XP.
