I have activated up to limit of my product key - now what?

[Don]

I recently have had a number of problems on my computer which necessitated
formatting my drive and reinstalling all of my software multiple times. The
final solution seems to have been replacing my power supply and hard drive.
Having done so, I reinstalled all of my software, hopefully for the last
time, but I receive a message on Publisher 2003 indicating that I have
activated up to the limit of my product key. Is there any solution, or must I
now go to Open Office?

Thanks,

-- Don

Just phone Microsoft support and explain the situation. They'll get
you back in business.
Blessed be, for sure...

As Jim says, contacting Microsoft via phone activation will get you back on
track. FWIW, *OpenOffice* doesn't have a Publisher equivelent.

I did this for Windows a few weeks back when I had to reactivate twice in 1
day.
I got put through to India, but the guy was extremely helpful. I spoke
slowly and clearly as did he, and he gave me a working code straight away no
questions asked.
Kudos to MS Activation
