Despite what most vulagar professionals (MVPs) might say, you don't have to uninstall from the first machine because it might have been broken or even stolen. So how can you uninstall it? Stupid suggestions by vulgar professionals.
Incidentally, I have found that if you use pirated copy of Microsoft software then activation is not a problem. Microsoft has deliberately targetted innocent, law abiding users of its products. They say, activation is to stop casual copying of its software by home users!!
Hope this proves useful.

I use non Microsoft products wherever possible which requires no activation.
I use Netscape 7.2 as my default browser which has everything I need for my work.
