Without paying again....
We use MS Office 2010 Student & Home Edition in our house. We will be pensioning off one of the laptops in the near future and replacing it. I'm fairly sure that if I uninstall the program in Control Panel it won't delete the licence file, thus preventing me reloading and activating it on a new laptop. Is it possible to totally uninstall the program and licence details and reinstall them on a new laptop, or do I have to buy MS Office again?

It shouldn’t be a problem. You are allowed to install this edition of Office on up to three PCs. If you have reached the limit, providing you uninstall one copy from the old PC it should install as normal on the new computer. If, for any reason the automatic, on-line activation fails simply call the telephone number that will appear during installation. Explain the situation to the Microsoft representative and they should be able to talk you through the activation process.
