Ahead of time I am not sure if this is leagle or not but I have the lisences and everything.

I bought microsoft office xp and well I am getting a new computer and am switching everything over to it. but The cds are scratched to hell and wont read correctly. so is there a way I can load the program onto a cd and install it onto my new computer. once agian I have the original lisence and the key code and I would hate to lose this large investment.

Thanks to all for help

Well, if it’s a geniune MS product, why not call Microsoft Supplemental & Replacement Parts at (800) 360-7561. They used to send them out for free, though they might charge for shipping now .
