Wrong Product Key entered

G

GA Peach

Hello. I recently purchased 2 Office Small Business Edition 2003 CD's. I
installed 1 on my Mother's computer and when I installed the other on my
computer, I accidentally entered her CD's product key. Is there any way that
I can change this, without having to uninstall and re-install? My reason for
asking is because I have emails and other files, that I do not want to lose.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
