how do I keep my office xp activated when using Symantic

[bander24]

I have 20 Dell Gx280 systems. I create an image on one machine with the
office xp installed and updated with service pack 3 and activated. The image
before I push it onto the server works fine. Yet when I push that same image
onto another machine and open up one of the office programs it says that the
office needs to be activated, because of the change of systems. Yet I have at
least 3 other different systems ( Gx260, D600, C640) and the images work
fine. The Gx280's image worked fine until about a month ago.
So my question is why is this doing this and how can I fix it. I have
license copies of these office xp disk with the product key for all the
systems.

I don't know about the exact configuration, but if hardware changes occur
(such as restoring an image to another pc) reactivation may be required. In
this case, you may change the product key you have and do the activation
again with that one.
