Office 2003 installation
I purchased a copy of Office 2003 Pro. I installed on three machines, with
Office 97 without any difficulty, and registered. All applications run good. But on the third machine, I can run Access without any problem, but when I run Word, Excel or PowerPoint a wizard comes up referencing Office Standard and is asking for a product key. Why did this happen and how can I correct it? -- Bob M

You cannot install Office Pro on 3 computers. Assumng it was a retail
version, you are limited to one desktop and one laptop, both of which you are the sole user. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "BobM" wrote in message ...

I in fact DID install my version of Office Professional Edition 2003 on three machines, and DID register them. The disk did recognize the fact that I was installing on more than one machine. The problem, as I indicated was the third installation will not allow me to run Excel, Word or Powerpoint without providing a product key. -- Bob M "JoAnn Paules" wrote: You cannot install Office Pro on 3 computers.

That's kind of gruff. I in fact DID install my version of Office Professional
Edition 2003 on three machines, and DID register them. The disk did recognize the fact that I was installing on more than one machine. The problem, as I indicated was the third installation will not allow me to run Excel, Word or Powerpoint without providing a product key. -- Bob M "Peter Foldes" wrote: See JoAnn's answer -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Office 2003 installation
So, perhaps someone should have said that you MAY NOT LEGALLY install it on
three systems. Hopefully that's more clear. (I'm reminded of my ten-year-old son who may someday be an excellent attorney because he insists on holding me to the letter the words that come out of my mouth...) Just because you "can" doesn't mean you should, nor does it mean it will work. And if you are obviously breaking the law, responsible folks on these forums are not likely to help you figure out how to make it work. :-) -- Susan Ramlet ----------------------------- Please reply to the newsgroups where all may benefit.

Susan--
Thank you for telling it like it 'TIS', hopefully folks will stop and think what is right/what is wrong in this 'Great Country called the USA' 'Be true to thyself!'

Registration means nothing, it has to be activated with a product key, and
legally you can only activate on two PC's "BobM" wrote in message ... That's kind of gruff.
