Registration and CD Key

[CJN]

I have two Macs on a network.

Originally I installed MS Office on both machines. Since they were both my
machines I thought I could do this. Evidently I can¹t because it won¹t allow
me to open up an MS Office application on both machines, even if one is
asleep.

So I went out and bought a second copy of MS Office so I could have both
machines running simultaneously. I deleted the old version and installed the
new version. It never asked me for my CD key on the second install, and it
still shows my old CD key on the 2nd machine. So I haven¹t solved my
problem.

How can I add my CD key to that second machine so I can use it?

You can delete the settings file that stores this information. Doing so
will allow you to re-enter the information. Instructions for doing so can
be found at J.E. McGimpsey's site.

Otherwise, you'll need to remove and re-install Office X. Insert the Office
X CD, then open the Value Pack. Click the Value Pack Installer. Check
"Remove Office", then click "Continue". Run the "Remove Office" utility.
When done, re-install Office X from the CD.

Then, download and install the latest Office X updates, which are 10.1.2,
10.1.4, and 10.1.5 (10.1.3 is unnecessary). They¹re available from
Microsoft.
