Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / July 2006How to fix new number of license issue
Hi. I am hoping someone here can tell me where the keys live that will allow me to fix my "This installation of Microsoft Office X exceeds the number of installations permitted by the license agreement" issue. My wife and I each have a PowerBook. We each have had our own copy of Office. Recently, I got a new PowerBook. I gave her my old one. While I tried to move her preferences and Apps to the right places, I must have missed something. Now, when she is using Microsoft Office, I get the "This installation of Microsoft Office X exceeds the number of installations permitted by the license agreement" message, and if I had been using it, she gets it. The easy solution is probably to go find the original CDs and reinstall Microsoft Office for each of us. However, those CDs were purchased two-houses ago. I bet they are still boxed up somewhere, along with old Zip disks, floppies and other old media that I havent had a need to locate. If anyone can tell me where the relevant files live that need to be moved to restore correct functionality, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you. Resetting the PID might help; follow the instructions on this website: <http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/pid.html> Note that you will need to have the registration codes for that.

Unfortunately, finding the reg codes may be harder than finding the CDs. I think I recall that when I installed, no reg code was requested. I believe the CDs were keyed already. I still have my wife's old PowerBook. I can run Office on that machine without either of the other two PowerBooks threatening to quit Office. Obviously those other PowerBooks are both using the reg code that belongs to my copy of Office. Is there any file I can take off of my wife's old PowerBook and place onto her new one that would make it use her old reg code? thanks! > Resetting the PID might help; follow the instructions on this website: > <http://www.mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/pid.html> [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > Thank you. Sorry, as far as I know, there are no easily accessible files which contain the registration key. There's not much you can do at this stage, except finding your old registration keys or buying a new copy of Office. If none of these options are acceptable, you could always make sure not to run Office at the same time on both computers.
