what if Office 2003 needs to be reinstalled?

by glb613 Dec 14, 2004 9:57AM PST

I was able to buy Microsoft Office 2003 through my employer for a fraction of the retail cost. I installed and activated it on one of my computers. I understand I'm only allowed one activation or to have it installed on one computer at a time. My question is, what happens if I need to reinstall the program? If I format and reinstall the operating system, decide I want it installed on a different computer or buy a new computer, will the program allow me to reactivate it? If not, what procedure do I need to follow? Except for XP, I've never owned a product with such strict antipiracy features.

If it doesn't reactivate...

Then a phone number appears and you call in to sort it out.

Ever wonder why I use Open Office? And why we use it widely at the office?

I don't want to use Open Office, but thanks for the tip.
