[kimjay35]

they tried to use it it came up that it was locked- it is not just one
application it is all applications on the software I have removed the program
and reinstalled and it is still locked....can someone tell me how to fix this
?

Is this a full version or could it have been a trial version and you've run
out of time?

 

[kimjay35]

no this is a full version- I am running the same one on my system and it is
working normally.

Is this a full version or could it have been a trial version and you've run
out of time?

It is the same copy installed on both systems - I obtained the copy from MSDN
tec net which was offered through my employer. the same registration is used
on both system- it was activated at the time of install on the kids system
when a tec. took it home to do some upgrades for me. I then installed it on
my system at a later date. Sorry I am not very computer illiterate, I
installed on theirs so they could do their school work and mine so I could
learn the programs. Is it possible that I would need to obtain a 2nd copy
with a different registration?

Same copy or same programs? Was it activated on the system your kids were
using?

I don't have MSDN, I have a TechNet subscription. I know there is an online
concierge service available with TechNet - is there one for MSDN? I'm sure
they have an email addy somewhere. Contact them and see if you can rule that
out.

Could this be the problem
You receive an error message and then the program quits unexpectedly when you use a
program of Office 2003
