Office 2003 activation. Same as Windows XP?

[gilees]

Howdy y'all,

I bought Office 2003 Pro OEM with my computer. I was wondering what type of
activation/verification procedure is used by the Office suite. Is it the
same as Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM?

I read that Windows XP checks 10 pieces of hardware when it boots up. It
allows 3 hardware changes before it thinks it is in a new computer and
requires a new activation. Is this criteria the same used in Office 2003 pro
OEM? Is it more or less stringent?

Does Office 2003 "talk" with Windows XP and compare activation criteria?

Is there a website that covers this topic?

Thanks in advance.

OEM is usually pre-activated by the OEM so no user intervention is required.
To re-activate it, use the telephone method.
