Hard drive on computer died -- install Office on new computer?
I have Office Professional installed on my existing work laptop, and my hard
drive suddenly died yesterday morning. I have a backup laptop, and all of my files were backed up, so that's no problem, but this other laptop doesn't have Microsoft Office -- which I need for my work. I have my disks, but I can't go back into the old computer (due to it being dead) and uninstall Office so that I can reinstall it on this computer. Is there any way around this? Can I have my product key deactivated and a new one assigned, so that Microsoft knows I'm not running more than one version? If anybody has any ideas, that'd be great -- we're a small non-profit, and buying Office Professional all over again would be a painful chunk out of our budget.

Did you get Office with that laptop or did you purchase it separately?

I purchased it separately. I'm thinking of trying to install it anyway, but I
know Microsoft is pretty strict about the one license/computer thing.

Install it, your allowed, use phone activation if neccessary, explain if
required that the old PC died (There is no deactivation process, you simply uninstall IF the pc is still functional) "kc977" wrote in message news  I purchased it separately.
