problem with the activation!

[Guest]

I have activated my product but every time that i open any office programm
e.x word the activation wizzard appears. Because i activated my product i was
canceling the wizzard and keep using word with not having any problem. There
is one week that office are locked!! I am triyng to use word and everything
is blocked. When i try to activate again activation fails and an error sais :
"Your installation cannot be activated because you have activated up to the
limit for your product key...etc". Can anyone help me? I don't know what to
do.
Thank you..

Is this a bought copy of Office or a trial copy supplied with your PC. If
the former, activate the program by telephone and explain what you have been
doing. If the latter, you'll now have to buy the product.

Thank you for helping me..
I installed office 2003 from the original cd,which i bought. From the first
time that the activation wizzard appeared i activated my programm. Every time
that i open word, activation wizzard appears again, some times i was ignoring
it and others i was activating again. I am a student abroad, away from my
country and i didnt brought the cd with me. When i ask about the activation
in online help it sais that: "Microsoft Product Activation is an anti-piracy
technology designed to verify that software products have been legitimately
licensed. It is quick, simple, unobtrusive, and helps protect customer
privacy." I activated it and i really don't understand what the problem is.
The id of the product is in the cd and i dont have it with me so as to
activate by phone and to ask what the problem is. Do you happen to know if
the id of the product is somewhere in my pc? If there is no other solution i
must find the id so as to activate by phone and learn what the problem with
my office is.
Thank you ... xXx

You should not have been prompted to activate more than once. Possibly if
you were not logged in as Administrator (or with Administrator rights) when
you activated, that may have contributed to the problem. At this point,
though, I'm not sure what recourse you have unless you can convince someone
on the other end of the phone that your situation is legitimate. Your best
bet may be to try to get someone to find and send you the CD or at least
email you the CD key code.

The activation code and the installation serial are two different issues.
The installation serial printed on the CD case can be viewed from the
registry by using an application like Belarc Advisor which is linked from
the favourites page of my web site
