Hello all,

I just purchased a new computer and want to transfer my Microsoft Office license to the new computer. How do I do that? Can someone send me step-by-step instructions?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Yes finding this info is searching for a needle in a haystack.

Convert a trial version of an Office 2010 suite or program to a full retail version -https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/convert-a-trial-version-of-an-office-2010-suite-or-program-to-a-full-retail-version-HA101886436.aspx#_Toc263312406

The activation process keeps track of number of times you have used a product key. If this is your 4th installation you may get message saying you can't use this product key. Make sure you uninstall from one of the other machines. If it won't allow you to activate, you will have to do a phone activation and tell the service rep that you have uninstalled from one of the previous machines.

    I have posted a link above re posting a new question.  Type the subject in the subject box>Then type your question>then at the bottom click on the different choices to post your question on the correct forum.

    Please note I was not being obtuse.  It is difficult to answer question without full information about the problem that person is having.
