recovered comp. can't register office xp twice

[Julie]

I had to do a system recovery on my laptop computer
recently and with that recovery deleted Microsoft Office
off of my hard drive. And so I reinstalled Microsoft
Office XP for Students and Teachers back onto my
computer. Now a message keeps coming up that I can only
use this for 40 more times. I'm the only one that is
using this software and payed lots for it. Do I have to
buy it again? How can I stop these messages from coming
up and just use Word, Excel, Ppt, and Outlook without
registering a different number? Please help!! Thanks

Hi Julie,

Use the telephone activation method to speak to
a MS technician to explain the situation.
