Re-activating

[Guest]

I've just bought a new computer which means installing Microsoft Office XP on
there. Unfortunately the computer is registering that the software is
activated on another computer and won't let me activate it on my new computer.

How do I get the software to activate on my new computer?

Activate by phone...

"... To activate a product over the telephone, you can simply call a
toll-free* telephone number displayed in a screen. A customer service
representative will ask for the installation ID number displayed on the same
screen, enter that number into a database, and return a confirmation ID to
the user. Once you have typed the confirmation ID, the activation process is
complete. ..."
