moving software to another computer

[regan]

i just bought a new computer that came with xp i put on pro and then i got a new better computer, this within a matter of like a week !?I was wondering if it was possible to take the office pro off my one computer and put it on my new computer cause i know you aren't supposed to put it on two and it won't let you.

Its more of a problem than the acrivation of Office XP. There are ways to get around office XP's activation. Try downloading KEY GENERATORS off of Kazza or Morpheus or Bearshare. But in dont think you can take the files strait off of that hard drive and dump them onto another hard drive. If you had the CD you could just install it on the other system. Also, there are websites that will sell individual licenses for versions of windows and office. Those are cheaper by far because they dont come with the software. You could buy one of those and use its Key for activation.
