Can I transfer my Microsoft Office license to a new computer?
Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is possible to transfer a Microsoft Office license to a new computer, depending on the type of license you possess. Microsoft offers different licensing options, such as retail licenses and OEM licenses. Retail licenses are generally transferable, while OEM licenses are usually tied to the original device on which they were installed and cannot be transferred.
To transfer a retail license, you need to first deactivate or uninstall Office from the old computer. This can often be done through your Microsoft account, where you can manage your devices and licenses. After uninstalling, you can proceed to install Microsoft Office on the new computer by signing in with the same Microsoft account that was used for the original installation. You can then enter your product key, if required, to activate the software on the new device.
For specific guidance on the transfer process and to ensure you meet any requirements or conditions, it is advisable to visit the relevant web pages provided by Microsoft Canada for comprehensive information.
