Recover a Microsoft Office license from a broken computer Solved

Question

Hello everyone, I recently broke the hard drive of my laptop (an Asus Eee PC) on which I had recently installed a license for Microsoft Office 2010. Now I have a new computer (also an Asus) with Windows 8. I would like to know if it is possible to recover the license from my old computer, knowing that it no longer starts, in order to install it on my new computer. And how to proceed. Thank you in advance Have a good evening everyone!

Hello,  I would be more restrictive than Mike.  If you bought a retail license (in-store or online), you can reuse the license. If you can't uninstall it from the old computer, you need to contact Microsoft to have the old license deactivated so you can reuse it.  If you had a trial version that came with the computer you activated, it is an OEM version linked to the device and is not transferable.  See the dedicated page on Microsoft's website: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/activer-les-programmes-office-2010-1fe7340c-50e2-458f-8677-f57f5a140f46?ocmsassetid=ha010354227&correlationid=6d4f0d4b-5c1d-4750-91d9-22050555a565&ui=fr-fr&rs=fr-fr&ad=fr  Eric  You will never respond to an unsolicited PM... Well, that's done.

Hi,  if it is indeed Microsoft Office 2010, then regardless of whether you acquired it via DVD or download, in both cases you have the activation key in your possession. What is prohibited is using your key on multiple computers, especially if it was purchased for a single device. As long as the first computer is out of order, you can use this key on another computer, but be careful never to restart the first computer or use this key on multiple computers, as this could lead to the activation key being invalidated, making your installations unusable.  -- See you, Mike-31  A period of failure is a perfect time to sow the seeds of knowledge.

Thank you for your responses. I indeed purchased a boxed license for 3 PCs: the last license, which has not yet been used, was meant for my father, but before using it on my new computer, I wanted to recover the one installed on my old computer. So I will try to contact Microsoft and I will let you know if it worked. Thanks again, Have a good afternoon, ;) Camille
