activating word online

[tomas]

have 2 pc's. loaded microsoft word into 2nd PC but when I try to register
online It tells me it's already registered and it will only run 47 more times
before I have to activate this product.

Is there anyway around this?????

Unless you are using Office 2003 Student and Teacher's Edition you are
not licensed to install Office on another computer unless you have a
retail version.

A retail version (depending on the EULA) can be installed on a desktop
and the owner's laptop.

Otherwise use the telephone method for activation.

First, registration (optional) and activation (required) are two separate
things... which are you trying to do? Second, just because you buy(?) one
copy of Office does not mean you can install it on every computer that you
and your friends and your family and all of their respective acquaintences
own. It's possible that you have reached the maximum number of activations
allowed in your license.
