Licensed to...?

[Johnny_D]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I bought Microsoft Office 2008, and when I filled in whom it should be licensed to, I made a typo. So now, every time I open up Word, Powerpoint, Entourage, or Excel, it says Licensed to the person with a typo in his name. How do I fix this? Thanks,

JD

I don't believe you can change just the name used. Someone will correct me
if I'm wrong. Try resetting the PID and that should take care of it.

BTW, this should be a problem other than how it looks for you when
launching. There is no activation for Office Mac.

How do I reset the PID, and what would that do?

Follow the directions on the link. It will require you to enter your CD key
and your name again.
