Dear all. I have gone through mainly all Office support pages and I would appreciate a nice step by step instructions on how to transfer the Office licence from and old yet working computer to a new computer. I have an Office version that was bought online some months ago and I of course still have the Product Key that I received in the confirmation email.

I would really appreciate a more detailed answer. I believe I could be interesting for other Community users too since no such detailed answer exists. This thread is locked. The full product key is permanently associated with the email account.

But still they only show users the last 5 char. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the bottom is that for , if you don’t have a record of the full 25 character product key you are totally out of luck. MS won’t do anything to help you find the key. You have to buy a new copy of Office MS won’t provide any help, you have to buy a new license.

Rohn, the above is wrong. You can reinstall Office as many time as you like from the Office Account. Key finders will retrieve 5 characters of the Product Key at the Office Account.

See below from my Office Account:. There is no option to register the Product Key for Office one-time-payment. When Office was first introduced users were not forced to use the email address for a Microsoft Account.

This caused a problem because it meant that an Office Account was not created and there is no way to reinstall Office without an Office Account.

The same with ‘tech guys’ installing Office using their Microsoft Account details, this left the user with no way to reinstall their Office. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Rohn MVP. It depends Since you bought Office separate from the laptop it is likely you have a retail license which does allow transfers.

You either need your original 25 character Office Product Key or you originally took advantage of the offer to “Register” your product key. It also shows a few other things you can do in the MyAccount site. Hi I did buy it from a store.
