I don’t recall dealing with activation or moving to a new machine so I can’t comment.ģ. The student and teacher version of microsoft office 2003 can be installed on three machines. They will ask if you uninstalled it from one of the old computers, for which you will have to tell them yes.ġ. When you call, if you say you moved it from one machine to another they will allow this.
