Default Reinstalling office on new machines

How do I reinstall Office 2003 on new machines? We were having too many
issues on the older boxes and needed to upgrade the machines, but the key no
longer works. In fact, all my keys have a message that says "invalid key".
These are all company purchased licenses.

Do the licenses match the product version you are trying to install?

do you still have the software installed on a working old machine so you can
go to About and read the eula or license terms to make sure you have a
license that allows you to reinstall to another machine?



onnn!

Are these Volume licenses? Or OEM? If former you contact Microsoft
licensing. If later, you need to buy valid licenses, as OEM cant be moved.

Even OEM licenses shouldn't say "invalid key". There is another problem
previous to activation.
