Is there a service pack for Office 2003?

[Jack Mehoff]

I just installed MS Office Professional Enterprise edition 2003 from
an MSDN developer CD that dates to October 2003.

I found a product activation key on the net and used it and it worked.

I then went to officeupdate.microsoft.com and tried to do an
auto-update, but I think it failed the genuine validation thing.

So then I went to the updates list for 0ffice 2003 and there are like
39 updates. It would be a drag to download them manually.

I see there is an SP4 for Outlook 2003. Is that a roll-up of a bunch
of other updates?

What do I really need to DL to update Office 2k3, or do I just have to
grab all of them?

PS: Do I need .net framework installed to apply any/all of these
updates?

PPS: Is there no office.2003 usenet hierarchy?

Sorry - we don't help pirates here.

If you had a valid MSDN Subscriber account, you would have had no need to "find a product activation key on the net" - those keys are available readily from a valid MSDN Subscriber options.
