Microsoft Office (Mac) Re-install after re-format with same product key

[Anon]

I have a Macbook Pro and I going to re format it, but I'm wondering
how I will be able to reinstall Office 2004 if I've already registered
it. Any thoughts?

Yes, Just be sure you have your CD key. Install and apply updates before
opening Entourage. There was a change in the database and you'll get an
error message if you do not update.

The 11.3.3 is a combo updater from 11.0. Then update with 11.3.4.

Download this handy script that will give you all of the version info for
Office applications. Note: not all applications are updated to the same
version.

There's no limit on how many times you can install Office - your CD key
doesn't get "used up". There's a license requirement that you use it on
only one machine at a time.

Registration means nothing - it's a marketing opportunity for MS.

And unlike WinOffice, MacOffice doesn't require Mother Microsoft's
Activation.
