I've got Ubuntu 13.10 and I was using LibreOffice which ended up being quite problematic as I didn't find it very intuitive to use. I found that I could use wine to put Microsoft office on Ubuntu. However I'm planning on making another computer and transferring data from my MBP to the computer. Will the license key transfer so I don't have to buy another license key for it?

  • If its in Wine, you may be able to copy over the ~/.wine folder (which contains a sort of virtual C drive) so it is on the other machine. However, windows & changing hardware does not always mix.... – Wilf Mar 01 '14 at 23:05

You may want to make sure both computers are running the same version of Wine, for that you should be able to use wine --version.
