2003 Pro validation

[Technodi]

I own a fully licensed, full version of Office 2003 Pro. This was previously
installed on a computer running XP. In Feb. 2007 I had to purchase a
replacement computer which runs Vista as the OS. I installed Office 2003 Pro
without incident and can use all programs without error. However, everytime
I try to install an Office update/upgrade I receive a validation error. I
assume that this is due to a previous registration of this product on my old
computer.

I am looking for information on how to get this validated so that I can
update/upgrade with downloads as needed.

Are you getting an activation meessage or a 'Genuine Microsoft Office' validation issue?

Several of the replies were based on looking at Activation.
For the Genuine Office Validation issues you may want to look at:

I am not getting an activation message, I am getting a failed validation
error. I have tried reactivating, I get a message that "The product is
already active".
I have looked at all applicable information that I could find on the
validation page, performed any steps suggested there, nothing helped.
