Office 2003 Professional Edition is no less than $500 full version retail. I am not current on conversion rates but it sounds like you paid a pirate about 25% of what Office should have cost. I am not surprised that your PID was found to be invalid. Did you see anything in the notice telling you how to obtain a legal copy of Office?
