Activation

I had purchased Office Professional 2007 which comes with three licenses.
My wife's computer has essentially bitten the dust and I am clearing off all
the contents. I was wondering whether there is a way to deactivate that
computer's version of Office Professional and activate it again on the new
computer we have purchased. Is that possible? Thanks for any help.

No, Office doesn't do "deactivation". When you install on the new computer and
tell it to activate over the Internet, if the activation server decides you've
exceeded the limit, you'll be shown a dialog with a telephone number to call.
Explain the situation to the service representative.

If you read Section 2 of your Office 2007 Professional Edition's
Software License Terms, you will probably find that you are
licensed to install the software on ONE or TWO computers
(depending on whether you purchased an OEM license or retail
license), but definitely not on THREE computers (only
retail-license Office 2007 Home and Student Edition allows that).
