So microsoft updater periodically grabs updates for office and then, before it will let me install them, demands I put in the 25 digit key code.
If for no other reason than principle, I refuse to go digging through boxes to find a cd key so that Microsoft can update its own software. I believe this is a reasonable position.
Anyway, every time I try to open a Microsoft product, it demands I update it, and enter the CD key code - or it shuts down automatically.
Im not using pirated software, only the office 2003 that came with the machine.
