All PIDS Used but need to re-install on new computer

[Rick_Nash]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel

We have a student edition with three installs already. However one of the Macs had to have a hard drive replaced due to failure and now we that we have re-installed we find that this PID is on conflict with the other ones. Apparently when I activated this re-install it used the same PID as one of the other installs. Our son (the student) has no idea wher his packaging.

Is there a way to resolve this issue. it seems to me like Microsoft's activation is saying we activated too many installs?

MacOffice doesn't have activation. You can install the same PID as often
as you want - but you can only run one machine at a time with each PID.

Just change the PID to one of the unused ones...
