Brian

Thank you for your help. DO you think they will give me a hard time about
doing this?

You can't avoid getting that message. If you do you will need to do a
telephone activation and explain the situation. Maybe you can do all of them
at once, maybe not.

I work for a school and have about 25 computers with Microsft Office XP
Professional 2003 installed on them. This was not done through volume
licensing - we have 25 individual Office programs installed. The problem
is,
there is no record of which disk (and network key) was used to install on
each computer. I need to reformat the harddrives of all these computers
and
then want to reinstall Office onto them. How can I do this without
getting a
message that the key has already been used?
