Hi,
it's not the right place.
You should go to:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.office.setup

But as long as you post it and as long as it's a Saturday :) .....

You are probably talking about activation.

Activation and Registration of a Microsoft Product
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326851

You must contact your salesman, the one where you purchase you Office.
He must inform you which version do you have ??

Q.Can I install my copy of Office XP on my home computer and my laptop?

A.Depending upon the version of Office XP you are using, you may be able to
install it on a second computer. Office XP for Students and Teachers
includes a license to use the software on a single computer. Retail versions
of Office XP Standard and Office XP Professional include licenses which
allow you to install and use the software on a single desktop computer and
on a second laptop computer, for your exclusive use. However, this does not
apply to Office XP product licenses acquired with the purchase of a
computer. These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) licenses are
single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another desktop computer
or laptop computer.

So...
Any other questions ?
