Maybe there are different versions of Office 2003, some of which _do_ require activation? I don't know about activation, but somebody gave me an Office Pro 2003 CD about 14 years ago. When I installed it I put in the number as asked. After it had finished it didn't mention activation - just asked me if I wanted to roll it out to other machines on the network. I had one PC only! At a guess, it could be a pro. Pro - OK for multiple machines. Although I still have the CD I now prefer LibreOffice. -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |

Were those installs before the drop-dead date? Betcha you will see the activation complaint if you install now and try to run it. |

Does any Microsoft software have a drop-dead date, with respect to activation issues ? Apparently people can re-install WinXP today, and the activation server is still present and still works for people. When they stop doing that (when they actually kill an activation server), it will be big news... and lawsuit time. Paul |

If the Activation server reports "too many re-installs" for a product with activation, the server will stop activating the product. You can phone Microsoft at the toll-free number, and have them reset that. Explain what you were doing, like that you were installing over and over again because you thought there would be a different/better outcome, and they may help you. A certain number of software issues with Microsoft, receive free support. And resolving Activation issues is one of those. Paul |
