Help with Microsoft Word Activation

[dcb91]

I bought Office 2003 from a electronics store used. I've installed it and it works and everything, but when I try to activate it, it says something like this activation code has been used too many times. I figured that somebody just copied down the code of activation and now I cant activate it. It won't let enter a new code too, does anyone know how I can enter a new code?

Try calling MS support and tell them your situation.

online electronics store? or local?
either you got scammed, or take it back for a return/refund.

alternatively, call microsoft and tell about the store. if online, were they certified microsoft product resellers?

local, it's is microsoft software, I just want to be able to enter a new activation code, but I can't figure out how. Every time I run it, it tells me how many more times i can use it with out the code. What happens when that number runs out? Will stuff like Word not even open?

It'll most likely try to open it but then tell you that you must enter an activation key if you want to use the program.

So it will ask me to enter a new activation?
