Office 2003 VLK doesn't pass validation

Question
-
I've just finish to clean the computer of one of our client and wanted to do all the windows and office update before sending it back to him but I'm encountering problem with the office update
It's telling me that the office did not pass the validation test for the following reason (approximative translation from french) :
"[0x80180114]
Problem : The product key used to instal office was identified by Microsoft as a key generated for a large proffessional client. This key is reserved for this one and only client and cannot be used to instal others copies of microsoft office"
The problem is that It is actualy a computer of the client who purchase this VLK and it never has this problem before. the only difference is that this one is not in the domain because it is used to work outside the office
Here come the result for the diagnostic tool

Good Morning Arnaud,
Thank you for visiting the Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program forum. I understand that in most cases, customers have no idea their copies of MS Office Suites were not legitimately provided. This is because some resellers try to cut costs by providing unauthorized copies, but still charge the customer for a copy of Windows and MS Office Suite. This may not have happened in your case, but it does happen. Also, we appreciate your concern that you’ve been using your copy of Windows for a long time. People often wonder, how is it that all of a sudden my copy turns out to be counterfeit. This is because Microsoft is continually investigating piracy reports, and identifying Product Keys that are being used improperly. It is possible for a Product Key to be used over a course of time, which may or may not be your case, but is then found to be a source of counterfeit software and therefore blocked from validating.
May I suggest a couple of links to follow this up?

Ok I've finaly found out where the problem was comming from by myself
For those who have similar problem I suggest you try to repair Office. And if you got an error message telling you that you cannot acces some registry it's probably the same cause as me
To fix that Go into "start" menu, then clic on "Run". Type "regedit" in the window then press enter.
Follow the folder to find the one who cause the error message when you tried to uninstal office
For me it was all folder under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\
there right click on it select "autorizations" then add full control to the administrators group.
Try again to repair until it can go trough the end.
After That reboot your computer and try again to valide.

I'm sorry to informyou that this doen't help me. The Key I use for office is the key my client has purchased few years ago it is a legitimate key on a legitimate computer.
I've tried the two link above but none of them explain anything near this problem
In adidtion to that when I try to pass again by the validation page I have the folowing error message une out of two attempts
