Office CD ROM: Serial Number Changes with Each Install (123149)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office for Windows 4.2-CD
- Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q123149 SUMMARY
When you install Microsoft Office from a CD-ROM, it generates a new serial
number each time an installation is performed.
MORE INFORMATION
Because it is Read Only, the CD-ROM version cannot be serialized. Instead,
it generates a random number to display in the licensing screen each time
you run the Setup program. This may cause confusion if you install more
than once, particularly if you have already sent in your registration with
the original number. Ideally, you should make a note of your registration
number when you first install Microsoft Office and keep it for tracking
purposes.
