    is it possible for me to uninstall office 2007 pro on my current laptop (reason being i am selling it),and reinstall it on my new laptop without having to buy it again? or once its installed it cant be migrated to another computer??

    if anyone can let me know that would be great!

    if the version you have is an EOM version, i.e. it came preinstalled on the computer, then no, you can't transfer the license. If you bought it separately, then you can. Just make sure and uninstall completely from the old PC.

    OEM can't be moved and lives/dies with the motherboard.

    you could always stick on OpenOffice on the laptop for the next user, then again dban is a better option
