Installing Office 2003 on new computer

[Xdays]

When I try to install Office 2003 from the CD onto my new computer the
program will not allow it to install. What can I do to resolve this issue.
Thanks

I think my original question was not clear. I already had Office 2003
installed on my old computer and tried to install it on my new one. I get a
message stating that I have exceeded the allotted activations.

If you've removed Office 2003 from the old computer, you can call Microsoft
and explain the situation to enable activation. Activation phone numbers can
be found here:

HI, I had that problem as well, call Microsoft activation line explain the
problem and as long as you are not exceeding your license by using the
software on more than one machine, they will be able to get you straightened
out.
