Microsoft office licence problem

Bought Office Ultimate a couple of years ago. Installed in on the main home PC. This is now landfill after problems that I won't bore you with. Bought a new PC and installed Office onto that. Bought a laptop and installed Office - laptop died within a week - uninstalled Office and swapped the laptop at the shop and installed Office again. i.e my 4th installation. Install not working because licence exceeded. Will microsoft fix this as I am only attempting to use two current installations?

Thanks

Steve

    I would think not. but call them and ask them if they can de activate them all then start again.

  • this is happening with me at the minute. says locked when trying to open a document to edit or type a new document.
    i probably have installed the hardware on 2 old machines (that are discarded now) and a laptop. have a new machine now and installed the software about a month ago. now i cant do anything with it.

    does anyone know a number for microsoft in the UK?
    Just about to give up!
  • I think you should see an option to register on the phone - this gives a phone number. I am going to give it a try in the morning.
