Posted: 26 Sep 2005 06:39 PM PDT

Uninstall the trial version and install your STE version. The key for the
retail package will not work on the Trial version.

| I didn't get anything illegally. I downloaded Office from the
| microsoft site as a trial. Then found out I qualified for the
| student edition, so purchased it at best buy. Without reinstalling,
| when I brought outlook up, it told me to activate (just like it has
| many times) and this time I clicked to activate via internet.
| Thought it would give me the opportunity to put in the key from the
| software I bought at best buy, but it didn't. I assume it's
| activated under the key that I used with the download from microsoft?
| So, now I'm doubly legal and doubly as broke as I'm sure microsoft
| won't let me activate without charging my credit card...and I've
| opened the software from best buy. All is legit here, I just want to
| be charged for ONE license since that's all I'm using.

no problem.

As a perminent fix i would suggest you get the document digitally signed
that way you can leave the security at an elevated level.

I think there is a program which signs documents and thats on the office
resource kit site failing that tell the silly user that created the spread
sheet not to embed documents within.

I thought there might be something to the pre-installed trial version but it
hadn't occurred to me to uninstall it. Thank you very much. I'm going to
uninstall everything and try again.

Re-installing, re-registering Office XP?

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 09:33 AM PDT

If you own a legal license for Office, you may install it on your system,
even if your system changes, as long as it's your system and you abide by
the number of licenses you have purchased. If your system changes, then you
re-install it, the activation via the Internet may fail. If it does, then
use the telephone activation method and explain the hardware change to the
operator. They can get the product activated for you over the telephone.

Trial Version vs Retail

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 07:01 AM PDT

Well...not exactly <grin>. What Microsoft has said is that the Add/Remove
Programs removes the most of the Office information that they are
comfortable removing without messing up people's systems. They claim it's
very clean--which is why they didn't create a removal utilitiy--but I don't
know what all remains after that.

After that, there's a Windows Installer Cleanup utility that you can run
that will remove entries in the registry related to installation of Office,
but it won't remove other registry entries that Office created and didn't
uninstall.

I have not yet seen a comprehensive article or posting about manually
removing it, either, so if it's worth it to you, you might give Microsoft
Support a call. In most cases, whatever's left is not likely to cause any
problems with ongoing system operation.

Office 2000 Install on Used Computer

Only if the buyer agreed to a EULA.

HOWEVER, the Office EULA states that it must be installed on an operating
system that the user is licensed for.

So, while purchasing the computer is perfectly legal, and it's legal for me
to use it without any licenses for the software isntalled, it is illegal for
me to install any other Microsoft software on this WinXP machine. Oops.

How to move directory MSOCACHE to another location ?

Hi Gerd,

It's a registry change that you can make with the
Local Install Source Tool. See Question #7 on
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830168&FR=1

I would like to place the folder "MSOCache" which is created by MSOffice 2003 to another location.

How do I do this?

I did not found a menu or setting in e.g. MSWord where I can set a new location

My question was, 
mother-in-law has 

the product ID is not the product key which would be needed
for re installation - perhaps it is written on the receipt
for the purchase
 
As stated 

The product ID will not assist you here you need the product
key, which may be found using magic jellybean (tho I do not
know if it will work on a disk set up as a slave.

The product key will be on the sticker on the old PC case or
on the cd case that held the CDs when they were supplied

Using your friends disk and a product key that you might
find on your pc does not mean that office will re install

Go back to those who sold her the "product ID" and use their

Can Not Access Newly Installed MS Office Pro 2003

Posted: 18 Sep 2005 08:34 PM PDT

Your directions were perfect, I am up and running all the parts of MS Office.
Step 4 on that web site is a little week on what exactly needs to be
removed. I had to remove both the factory installed one and the new one and
reboot the computor and then reinstall the new one before it worked right.

Thanks though, it was what the doctor ordered, Evan

I think (*not* sure at all) that you must use a "compresed CD image" (not an
Admin Install Point) if you wish to get a local installation source.
