Office 2003 'Registration'

Another way to bypass the Office activation, only if your's is completely genuine and AFTER A REINSTALL is to edit the registry. For Windows 200 users, go to the Windows folder and open regedit.exe. For XP users, in run, type regedt32.exe. Notice that there is no 'i' in edt. Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' open it then navigate to 'Software,' Then navigate 'Microsoft' -- 'Office' -- '11.0' -- 'Registration' Delete of rename that folder whatever you want. This is where all the activation info is kept. Then on first run, Office will ask you for you product key, but it will be filled in for you already, follow the instructions, and you're done.
