I have Office XP on a laptop. We just bought a desktop
and I would like to put it on there also, however I can
not find my product key. I did the look up thing that the
microsoft site told me to do but the product id that it
gave me from the laptop is about 5 characters too short
for the product key that it is asking for. What do I do?

Buy another copy.


Not necessary - read the EULA...

Meep - You need to read it again. Pay attention to the term "exclusive
use".


Not so...it states that the user may install it on their laptop for use away
from the office. But both systems cannot be using it at the same time. At
least it *used* to...and since I've actually done this on the phone with MS
for activation of the second install, it seems likely that it's still okay.
