No. As long as you remember the email and password that you registered your product to, you can reinstall the software to any new computer that you purchase.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just had a nice CHAT with a Microsoft Agent. It stays on your PC until you remove it or deactivate the license. You would want to deactivate the license if, for example, you were going to buy or build a new computer and wanted to use OFFICE on your new computer - BUT NOT ON YOUR OLD ONE - . First, deactivate it on your old computer BEFORE you destroy it, get rid of it, or break it down to use for parts. You may be able to do this online through your Microsoft account, or you could call Microsoft and tell them what you want to do. They will help you. Second, install and activate OFFICE on your new computer. If you have ALREADY deactivated it on your old computer you should have no problems. If you DIDN'T deactivate it, you may have problems getting it to install on your new computer. Then you would have to call Microsoft and explain the situation to them and convince them that you are not trying to install it on more than one computer at a time (don't ask me how I know this :) ). Every time I have talked to Microsoft over the years they have always been friendly and willing to help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ideally, you'll uninstall your Office 2019 software on your first computer before transferring it to another. If you don't, you'll need to buy a new license key to activate your Office 2019 software on your new device.
