Howdy,
I've come across users who have counterfeit versions of Office 2003 Standard.
The counterfeits are pretty clever and even defeat the MS Validation system. One is adapted from a Chinese Office version. Most users could never spot the fakes. Most Office functions work ok, but they fail or behave unpredictably when interfacing with other apps.
How can I quickly spot these counterfeits with certainty?
Please advise.
Thanks
Sly
Here is a report from another version I suspect is counterfeit. Recall these are clever. There are odd subtle behaviors in the Office apps. e.g. A Word product ID fails to appear in Sys Info. The version was purchased and downloaded online.
