Update December 11, 2021: STILL WORKS using the telephone # above. I have Office 2003 Student/Teacher which is good for 3 machines. Just rebuilt one of my XP's, and I also have a Win 10 running Office 2003 since Oct 2019. I just realized I must have visited this site at that time, and created an account to ask the same question. As someone observed above, it seems that the system must recognize a computer or hard drive identifier, because I never deactivated the sw prior to wiping the drive. This board is great! Oh - in my case it asked if I was installing Windows, then Office, and I said Yes. Then it gave me the option of smartphone, and I said No, and it continued with voice interaction.
