You need to purchase another license.

I don't know what version you have or what licensing you have, but the
Office 2007 license I have allows two activations--one for my home machine
and one for my laptop. If I try to activate it on a third machine I'd get
the message you're getting.

You need to purchase another license if you want to do whatever it is you're
trying to do. If this is the only machine you've put Office on, then you'll
want to take that up with whoever sold you your copy of Office, as someone
else has already activated it.

Call Microsoft. I believe you're given the option to activate over the phone?


Like Joe said, you're allowed two machines, but if something has happened
and you're moving machines, activation servers can act up.

Make sure you have your product key handy and give them a call, assuming
this is, in fact, your second install.

Not the only time this message will come up - if the OP is re-installing a
legitimate install within a certain time period from the last activation,
that may well trigger this message.
