Re-Activiation

[Joseph Macari]

I purchased Office2003 Pro (retail upgrade) over a year ago and installed it
on my home desktop computer. I also activated it at that time. A couple of
months ago, I purchased a notebook and also installed the original
Office2003 on it and, again, activated it (my understanding of the EULA was
that was permissible). I had numerous problems setting up the notebook, and
had to reinstall the OS several times and also reinstall Office (and
reactivate) numerous times. All activations with the notebook were via the
internet without any problems. I am now going to install a new hard drive
on the original desktop....and reinstall Office2003. The question is will I
be able to activate Office again, without problems via the internet...or
should I call Microsoft and explain the situation. I would assume that
because it is a retail version and it is going on the original computer
(basically same hardware), there shouldn't be a problem. Just wondering if
anybody else has been through the same scenario.

You may have to call, just explain you had a drive fail and you should
be ok.

Brian-

Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

I figured I may have to call, but since it is so easy to activate on line, I
will try that first. Thanks again.
