Hello Rascal10,

Office validation is voluntary.
The Office Validation site and the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Utility (mgadiag.exe) are currenlty programmed to evaluate these versions of Office: Office XP (aka 2002); Office 2003, and Office 2007.
As Noel posted, the mgadiag report has found that your installation of Office Professional 2003 is a widely pirated and now blocked Volume Licensing edition. The status of Blocked VLK2 - 114 indicates that this particular blocked Volume Licensing product
Key is the one that Microsoft issued to itself for the internal use of its employees on its fleet of computers. This product key ends in 3HFDY.
The mgadiag utility reports that your installation of FrontPage 2003 is a genuine retail licensed installation, so no worries there.
You are being notified of the problem with Office because you installed the Office Genuine Advantage Notifications Utility as delivered by Windows Update KB 949810.
If you purchased this copy of Office thinking it was supposed to be a retail license to be sold to individual consumers, then you are likely the victim of software piracy and/or software counterfeiting. If you cannot get satisfaction from the seller,
and you have high-quality counterfeit product, then you may qualify for Microsoft's complimentary replacement program. Visit
www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on the Validate Office button. When your installation of Office fails validation, click on the "Learn More Online" or "Resolve Now" links to be taken to informational web
pages, then look for the links to apply for the Complimentary Replacement.
