HD crash, need to move Office 2003 license to a new install, how?

I had a hard drive crash and reinstalled MS Office on the new drive. The
authorization at MS is treating this as a demo installation with a max of 40
uses per application (Word, Excel, etc). Eventually it will run out and
become locked out unless I purchase a new license. How do I get MS to
recognize this as the one (and only) installation of this license without
having to pay for it twice for the same machine?

You just need to activate it online. If you haven't installed this
software on more than two systems then it should be very straight
forward. Otherwise, you need to pick up the phone and explain your
situation to MS agent in your country. The telephone number should be
on the screen when you select your country from the drop down list.

To activate, open any application (say WORD) and under HELP menu item
there should be an entry to activate. Just click on it and it should do
it for you automatically.
