if software already installed.

My new Dell already had Microsoft Office installed, but the Activator keeps
coming up to assist me in activating the software. The disclosure says if you
don't go through this process over time you'll lose certain capabilities.
It's confusing when all of this was already installed.
It appears as though it's installed since it's not your normal
installation/activation.

Installation does not equal activation. Use the Help menu button to start
the activation process.
