Hi,

I had purchased and installed MS Office on my VAIO laptop when I broke
the screen. I immediately bought the very same laptop as a
replacement, but the version of MS Office on the new VAIO was obviously
only a trial version and after a couple of months I am unable to edit
documents or spreadsheets.

My query was whether there is anyway to "transfer" my purchased copy of
MS Office from my old laptop to the new one, since I had only been using
it for a year or so when I broke the first VAIO. Not sure if this is
technically possible or even if it infringes on any licensing laws, but
it seems odd to have to purchase something a second time just because
something else (IE the screen on my older VAIO) is broken.

Many thanks,

Christian





You can install Office on your new computer. If you have to phone activate, just tell them what happened. Be sure and uninstall the trial version first.
