Can I transfer my Microsoft Office license to a new computer?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can transfer your Microsoft Office license to a new computer. Microsoft allows you to transfer your Office license to a different device as long as you follow their license transfer policy. To do this, you need to uninstall the Office software from your old computer and deactivate the license key. Then, you can install and activate Office on your new computer using the same license key. However, it's important to note that Office products are generally licensed for only one device at a time, unless you have a subscription plan like Microsoft 365 Home or Microsoft 365 Personal that allows multiple installations. Make sure you check the specific terms of your license to ensure eligibility for transferring your Office license.
