Why suddenly am I getting "This copy of MS Office is not genuine" messages?
Why suddenly am I getting "This copy of MS Office is not genuine" messages?
- A few weeks ago, this message started appearing whenever i open Excel or Word: "This copy of MS Office is not genuine. In 7 day(s), Office apps will be marked as not genuine."
Why did these messages suddenly begin to appear? Office came with my Dell laptop when I bought it four years ago. Nothing's changed.
These messages have me freaked out. I'm working on my doctorate and am afriad all my Word docs are going to be locked up.
Win XP Pro ver 2002 SP3.
