After easy transfer restore your outlook profiles/accounts are not there. I had reinstalled office 2007 on the new system and restored using easy transfer from old to new computer settings. I was under the impression profiles would be moving. In addition to moving the .pst files you also have to restore the following registry setting. The best way of doing it is to export the setting. On the old computer open regedit.Start-run-type regedit-enter. Then look for this setting: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles. Copy it to a thumbdrive or some kind of portable device then go on the new computer and double click on the reg setting to restore it on the new computer.

You need to ensure you reinstall office first, do not start outlook until after you have migrated your .pst files and the registry setting above.

In the event you are using either a eval copy or need to change the activation key here are some instructions on how to do so.

Follow these steps:

Close all Microsoft Office applications.

Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration

Note You may also find another subkey that resembles the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{91120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

If you find additional subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open each subkey, and then identify the product by the ProductName entry.
For example: ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007

When you find the subkey for the product from which you want to remove the existing product license key, delete the following entries:
DigitalProductID
ProductID

Exit Registry Editor.
The next time that you try to run an Office application, you will be prompted for a new product license key. Then, you can enter the product license key.
key_thumb2

Hit the “Install Now” button and you Office app, will be updated with the new key. After updating you can activate you Office app, without reinstalling it.
