How to change office 2003 volume license serial

[dosworld]

Does anyone know how to change (without buying something) the serial for my office 2003 corp. install

i dont want to reinstall...

also, how to i change the serial on my admin install without reinstalling it??

thanks

open the registryeditor and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration\{90110407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}

now delete ProductID and DigitalProductID. After starting one office product you have to enter the new SN

but is is better to buy a new licence instead of generating new keys and hope that they work until next Update of OGA

Is it possible to use a retail or oem serial number in a coporate copy? I have wondered... but I have never tried it.

Yes Siginet!, you can install the office 2003 package with an OEM/Corp serial regardless. The office distribution seems to be a common soft of all kinds. Personally, I was able to install corp version of office with a oem key and of course I needed to activate. But If any one can answer how to reinstall office againg without having to activate ? What is the wpa.dbl equivalent in office ?

By the way, Siginet, your softwares are grand.

Sorry to revive such an old topic, but I tried the method described.

I'm holding in my hand a never used Dell CD with Product Key for MS Office Pro.

I exported the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Registration\{90110407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9} part of the registry JUST IN CASE....good thing I did.

I deleted both the ProductID and DigitalProductID keys, started Excel, it asked for my Product Key, I entered it, checked 5 times to make sure that I didn't confuse an 8 with a B and vice versa, and it said the key was invalid....

Thankfully I still had the exported part and was able to restore it.

Any ideas what gives?

you might have a corp key for a retail install or vice versa... you might have to uninstall what's there and re-install off the new disk
