03 Office Pro Install Problems TC 11/24/2008 5:16:08 AM I purchased this software for an HP laptop and not part of the laptop purchase. 6 months later I had to take the system back because of a recall and they gave me a new laptop. I tried installing the Office Pro 2003 on my new laptop and it tells me the product key is incorrect. Any ideas?

The Key is on the orange sticker on the case, you checked the numerals carefully, eg 0 O, B 8 etc Its not an OEM edition is it?

Re: 03 Office Pro Install Problems TC 11/24/2008 1:24:02 PM Yep did all that. I was wondering if maybe I am only allowed to install it 1 time and since I installed it on my old computer it was illegal to install it on my new. Yes I removed the trial version "DL" wrote: [Quoted Text] > You uninstalled any trial edition first? > The Key is on the orange sticker on the case, you checked the numerals > carefully, eg 0 O, B 8 etc > Its not an OEM edition is it? > > "TC" <TC[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:21521E19-7F95-4802-8C2D-2DAF95E0B8A4[ at ]microsoft.com... > >I purchased this software for an HP laptop and not part of the laptop > > purchase. 6 months later I had to take the system back because of a recall > > and they gave me a new laptop.
