Re-installing Office after a system reset

C

My employer runs a scheme where you can (relatively inexpensively) buy
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, for one installation onto a home
computer. Which I did.

However, said home computer (a Packard Bell, which had XP installed on it
when I got it) had a problem which required me to reset the computer back to
factory settings (although I retained the files).

Now, when I try to open any office application, it asks for the product key,
which when I enter it says is invalid (I assume, because I previously used
it). I still have the original installation CD for Office.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Contact your employer. The Home Use license is a single installation
license. You will need to ask your employer what your options are for
re-using this software on the same machine.

Thanks. Not quite the answer that I was looking for, but such is life. At
least I haven't failed to do anything obvious!
