This is all fine and good, but what to do if you want to change the associated user account for an Office installation? If UserA used PC1 and thus the installed Office software on PC1 has been associated to UserA's account, and now PC1 must be given to UserB, how can I re-associate that Office installation to UserB without having to reinstall the whole package?
