I think this is analogous to what you did: I just migrated to a new MBP, and although I've never migrated my apps before I did this time to see if I'd have to reactivate Excel (the only Office component I use), and I did. (I kept getting "Activation Server Down" messages, so I wound up doing it by phone... Jeez, what a PIA!!! The read-in and read-out were around 50 numbers each.)
