how can I use second-hand copy of FP 2002?

[George Orwell]

My wife bought FP 2002 on Ebay.
She was unaware that Microsoft products since 2002 need
activation as well as the serial number.
Now the seller has apparently sold his business and is
moving to another country. Pretty sure he already
registered this copy of FP 2002.
So what do we do?
Get a crack for 2002 (which probably has a trojan in it)?

Well, you now learned an important lesson about buying software off of Ebay.
Also, it's not very wise to discussion cracks of MS software in a MS
newsgroup.

When asked to Activate use the Phone option and explain your
situation.
