I installed Office Pro Ed. 2003. How do I get Excel to work?

[jim4825]

I installed Microsoft Office Professional 2003 on my computer. I went to use
Excel and when I clicked on it, it prompted my for the Product Key for my CD.
When I entered it, I was told that I entered the wrong product code. I
checked it again and I entered it correctly, but it still does not work.

If your computer came with a trial version of Office 2003 preinstalled
on the hard drive by the computer manufacturer, then you need to
uninstall the trial version. See

product key' error message when you start an Office 2003 program after
you install Office Professional Edition 2003" for more information.
