Here's a small problem I don't think anyone mentioned yet. Once you
convert your outlook pst file to 2007 format, YOU CAN'T GO BACK because
the formats are not compatible and export feature of 2007 is not working
yet. So if you were really stupid like me and made no backup, you're
really screwed by Microsoft not giving sh!t about activation servers.
Its sad, but i had to resort to keeping outlook open 24/7 because i
only have 2 more runs left. I never turn my computer off anyway, but
this sucks...

Use method 2 in that article.
The key specified in the article is a volume license key that doesn't
require activation. Method 2 switches your Office from the currently
entered key to the VLK without needing to reinstall.

I'm sorry, but i can't see how this can help me. Are you suggesting I
reinstall with that key? The article is "This copy of Microsoft Office
Word cannot be used on Terminal Server." Could you be a bit more
specific.
Thanks.
