Misused Word 2004 Student and Teacher Product ID Proving a Nightmare

[mrmanthegreat]

I recently bought Student and Teacher Edition for Mac, and installed
it on three machines. However, I used one product ID twice. This means
that when the two computers on my wireless network are running word, I
get an error message forcing me to close Word because another copy is
already running on another networked computer off the same license. Is
there any way to change the product ID, without completely
reinstalling?

Thanks in advance,
Alexander Matheson

Yes, you can remove only the licensing information with the "Remove
Office" tool.

After launching "Remove Office", press the option key. The button which
previously said "Continue" will now say "Remove Licensing Information
Only".

The next time you launch an Office application, you will be prompted to
enter the licensing information.

Thanks! Very much appreciated indeed.
