Confusing "Help about" information?

S

Sven Pran

Office 2002 with Windows XP:

When logged on as "Sven Pran" (limited user for my everyday work)
I get the following information under "Help" > "about Microsoft xxx"
(xxx is Access, Excel or Word):

This product is licensed to: Sven Pran

And if I now press "System info..." I find:

Activation status: Activation pending (30 days remaining)

If I do the same while logged on as administrator I find:

This product is licensed to:

and no mentioning of activation status.

Can anybody enlighten me on why there is no licensee
shown when I am logged on as administrator and why I get
the misleading information that system activation is pending
when I am logged on as my daily user?

(I have yet to see what is displayed if I try the same while
logged on as Guest!)

There is apparently no crisis, but it is annoying.

regards Sven
