Installing Office 2004

[Austin50]

Purchased new iMac and loaded MS Office 2004 Standard Edition. The household has 2 computers and one laptop. All running MS Office 2004 Standard Edition. Of course, the 2 computers can not run MS Office at the same time because we get the message - MS Office cannot start because MS Office is already in use.
To solve this problem we recently purchased MS Office 2004 Student and Teacher Edition and also loaded it onto the new iMac. Maybe I should have removed MS Office 2004 Standard Edition before loading MS Office 2004 Student/Teacher Edition because we are still getting the message - MS Office cannot start because MS Office is already in use. I own MS Office software for each computer.

How do I solve the problem on the new iMAC?
Will removing MS Office 2004 Standard Edition from the new iMAC solve this problem?
If so, how do I remove MS Office 2004 Standard Edition from the new iMAC?
How will removing MS Office effect any files?

By the way, from reading some of the forum emails, I checked the Office Additional Tools folder and did not see Office Test Drive.

Hope this makes sense.
Thank you.

You shouldn't have to remove & reinstall. The information in the topic:

"Resetting your Mac Office Registration number"

on the following page should help you get the correct keys assigned on the
existing installs:
