How do I activate office after reaching the limit?
I have Office 2003 Basic. I installed it on one computer, the computer
crashed after about a year, I reinstalled Windows & Office. The computer crashed again two weeks later. I installed a new motherboard, and now am trying to activate Office (for about the 3rd time). If I choose to activate by internet it says that I've reached the activation limit - If I go back and choose to activate by telephone the box goes away and gives me no further information (LIKE A REALLY BADLY NEEDED PH. #!). Can anyone please help me, or at least give me the activation Ph. # so I can talk to someone? Thank You.

Actually, the OP will probably have to contact the computer manufacturer
since she replaced the motherboard and Office Basic is an OEM only edition. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

How do I activate office after reaching the limit?
Thank you. I ended up calling in and paying $35 to have tech support help me
through this. They had me search my whole computer for a file named opa11, and rename the extension of each one to .old, .old1, .old2, ect., ect. After doing this I re-ran the activation wizard and selected telephone and... bingo, it gave me an installation code. Visty "ReStellar" wrote: "Visty" wrote: I have Office 2003 Basic.

Your answer may not have been free but you have to admit that $35 to get it
to work is a bit cheaper than buying office again. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Visty" wrote in message ... Thank you.
