Lee Beck said:Thanks, Milly. Yours is the first response that appears to acknowledge
that
my legally purchased Office 2000 will become useless if I continue to use
it
without registering it. However, I still can't figure out how to
register.
Summarizing from my original post:
* I tried the Internet option and it said server down (or unavailable).
* After a few hours and several tries I opted for the email option. I got
a
return that said a code had been emailed to me. I never fot the code
* Now when I try to register the Internet option is not even available -
only register by telephone.
* I tried the telephone number provided by the wizard and I get someone in
India that says the number is only for activation - not registrateio.
After
a lengthy discussion, I'm referred to a customer service number
* I call customer service (another foreigh national) I am given the number
provided by the wizard (where no help is received.
* I go to MSFT newsgroup commuiteis (here) and a discussion gets started
on
whether or not registration is really required.
The sites to which you refer are primarilly for volume and educational
licensing, and anti-piracy. I'm still looking for a way to register my
single copy. Maybe if I uninstall my copy of Office and reinstall it It
will
allow the Internet option again?

After furious head scratching, Gordon asked:

| version of Office to require registration.
