Office Activation

[Guest slew0302]

A new version of Genuine Advantage was recently installed. Now whenever I

 

open an Office app, I am told I need to activate it. But I click on

 

Help->Activate and I learn my product is already activated. I'm running

 

Windows XP Professional v 5.1.2600 SP 3 Build 2600. My version of Word, for

 

example, is Microsoft Word 2002 (10.6856.6858) SP3. When I pull down

 

Help->About, I see that each product is licensed to me.

 

 

 

I believe I bought this copy of Office with my Dell desktop -- quite a long

 

time ago. I've never had issues with licensing or activation before.
