license name

[bill65]

I entered the data wrong when I set office 2008 and I would like to change my license name and company on each of the office applications. I cannot find where this data is stored. I have changed the data in Entourage and I have "removed office" and reinstalled it. Help? thanks

Delete these two files:

~:Libraryreferences:Microsoft:Office 2008:Microsoft Office 2008
Settings.plist

where ~ is your home folder, and

HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2008:Office:OfficePID.plist

files.

Diane thank you this was most helpful. I deleted the two files. The computer asked me to register but I could not because I am currently off line (this e-mail is from another computer). The computer then restored the two files. The actual problem is HD:Applications:etc picks from somewhere an owners name and a company name to put on the applications as they open and on the work product. It is picking up my password for the company name. I changed the Company name in HD:Applications:etc to "0" and "0" now appears on the applications as they open. Either HD:Applications:etc is programed wrong or I put my password in the wrong place at some point in the set-up procedure. Do you know where it draws from? thanks

Registration is NOT required. It does nothing but give you the opportunity
to opt in for a Microsoft newsletter. "Registration" has nothing to do with
the operation of the software - unlike the Activation required for MS
Windows software.

It could be picking up the info from the Apple Address Book. I know when
I've done "Erase & Install" then installed Office from the CD, it would have
my info. It had to come from what I entered during the OS setup. I believe
that is stored in the Apple Address Book.

Inside the Office folder, you should be able to find the Setup Assistant and
run it again.
