Office XP activation

[Powerharp]

I purchased Office XP two and a half years ago. I installed it when I
recieved it. My computer crashed and I had to reinstall it. Two days later,
my hard drive died completely so I reinstalled Office after installing my new
HD. I was told you only get three activaitons with Office XP. Is that true?
What if I have to reinstall for some reason?

Q: "I was told you only get three activations with Office XP. Is that true?"

A: No. If you are unable to activate Office XP via the internet, then simply
use the alternative "activate by phone" method to obtain a new, and free,
activation code.
