I wish it was that simple. Microsoft recognizes that the software has been
installed on a different computer and that I am trying to use it twice. I
only want to use it on our new computer, not both computers.
During the activation process, you should see an option for calling Microsoft rather than activating over the Internet. Make the call and explain that you're moving Office to a new computer. They should be able to walk you through the process.
