Activation is a hastle when computer upgrading is a constantly de.

[Activation Frustration]

Dear Microsoft,
I just wanted to let you know that the activation process is indeed a
hassle. I am constantly upgrading my computer to meet the demands of my
work. I find it difficult to continue using Microsoft product such as Office
Professional Edition 2003 when I need to call and activate the product all
over again. After reformatting my hard drive I was denied activating Office.
I was told I had reached my limit and had to call a machine that once again
denied activation. Then I had to speak to a service rep that finally was
able to activate Office. There must be an easier way, a middle ground for
reinstalling software and upgrading a PC. I enjoy Microsoft product but I
can't waste the little time I have. Please find the middle ground.
Sincerely, MS User (For now)
