Just having the discs apparently doesn't mean squat.
You can't 'de-authorize' an Office installation. What the message means is that your copy of Office has already been installed on as many PCs as the licence allows. In that case, if you want to transfer the licence to a new PC, you will need to use telephone activation, rather than relying on on-line activation.
