Unable to activate Office with product code
I bought a laptop with XP-Home and purchased a Professional upgrade. I
loaded the upgrade and proceeded to finish installation of other software and hardware. When I tried to access MSWord, an dialog box appeared asking for a product code. I've tried the product code from the upgrade box of XP and the code on the bottom of my machine, but it won't accept either one. HELP! I need this machine running NOW. Thanks for any lifeline! |

Unable to activate Office with product code
You need to find your Product Key for Microsoft Word.
It is located on the sleeve in which the Microsoft Word CD was shipped in. The Product Key for Windows XP will not work with Microsoft Word. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

You need to enter the Product Key that came attached to the Microsoft Word CD's packaging, not the Product Key for either version of Windows. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace.
