When you start one of the Microsoft Office 2000 programs that are
listed at the beginning of this article after April 15, 2003, you may receive a
prompt to register Office. This symptom may occur if Office has previously been
registered or if the version of Office that you are using does not typically
require registration.
When you receive a prompt to register Office,
the prompt may be voluntary or mandatory. You may receive either of the
following types of registration prompts.
When you start your Office program, the Office Registration
Wizard starts automatically. You must have administrative credentials on the
computer and you must continue through the Office Registration Wizard to
register Office. If you do not complete the Office Registration Wizard, or you
click Register Later, you receive a prompt from the Office
Registration Wizard to register Office every time you start your Office
program. After you receive a prompt to register Office 50 times, you must
register to continue using the product.

patching has Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1 (SR-1) or Microsoft Office
2000 Service Pack 2 (SP-2) installed.
