Update causes invalid product Key?

[dagarner_tn]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have a macbook that i bought secondhand that came with Office 2008 installed. the other day I was installing an update that it downloaded for Word automatically and when it finished i tried to open Word again. But now a widow pops up that says "Office for Mac has determined that your product key is invalid." Now I am a new mac user and I dont know what to do. the widow provides a link for reinstalling the product key but I dont have it. Why should I have to do that anyway after updating? Does anyone have a suggestion?

I'm guessing your second hand computer has pirated software. Sorry.
