Can't activate MS Office after install of new motherboard.

[markusaurileus]

Hi, I installed a new motherboard in my computer, and after reinstalling MS Office, I can't activate my copy because it still thinks my key is activated on my old system. Please help me or direct me somewhere if you guys can. I need office asap! Thanks.

Did you re-activate windows yet?

 

[markusaurileus]

Yup! Same key and all. Accepted, as expected, too.

Did it offer the MS over the phone activation?

 

[markusaurileus]

Yeah, MS office let me 'try' over the phone, but it ended up telling me that the transaction couldn't be complete and that it wasn't sure if I was trying to activate a genuine MS product. I've had this copy of office since 2003-04 when I bought it.

Maybe it's time to try OpenOffice.

 

[markusaurileus]

Did, and it's simply not the same. I've gotten to the point where I'm so used to MS office that I have to use them. Its the standard for me. : /

Try it all over again + the phone call with live person!
