I have been running Office 2003 S&T Edition for some time. It was activation
properly when first installed. Recently I had problems with some update and
at teh same time, I begain getting a dialogue box daily that says "This copy
of Microsoft Office has not been activated". Given that I was having a few
small problems, I did a full removal and re-install. That fixed the update
issue but it still is saying it has not been activated. When I click help -
activate product, I get a box saying this product is already activated. How
can I get rid of this nuisance?

Did you ever get a reply I wonder - I have the same problem and am
considering moving to another type of software as this is so frustrating.

you can apparently find and delete the opa11.dat file, run an Office
app and follow the prompts. But this only fixed it for me until I
rebooted. Then the same problem. I am just ignoring it now. I know my
copy of Word is legal, and activated.
