How to Transfer MS Office to a New Computer

1. Uninstall Microsoft Office on your old computer. You can do this by going to the 'Control Panel' and clicking 'Uninstall a Program' or 'Add/Remove Programs.' Select 'Microsoft Office' and click 'Install' or 'Remove.'
2. Install your Office software on your replacement computer. This will work as long as the number of computers your copy of Office is installed on meets the license terms (no more than two for a regular suite).
3. Enter the 25-digit Product Key. Your Product Key will be on the sticker of the CD case, packaging or the Certificate of Authenticity if you bought it from a retail store. If you bought Office online, look for the Product Key in the confirmation email.
4. Call Microsoft for confirmation if prompted to do so. You may need to explain your situation (e.g., you bought a new computer) and Microsoft will provide a new activation code.
