I legally purchased windows 2003 and just bought a new computer and it won't let me install my software. It keeps telling me:

'YOU MUST ACCEPT THE END-USER AGREEMENT (eula) TO USE THIS SOFTWARE. IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT, THIS APPLICATION WILL QUIT"

Is there a way around this since I purchased the software?

Thank you,Michele

There should be a tick that will allow you to ACCEPT.

Michele, read the EULA and except it. If you don't accept it it will not install. It is standard practice with these products.

I have accepted the end-user agreement yet this agreement keeps popping up when I am in Word or Email (Outlook).

Am I suppose to activate my existing software some how, some way?

by rob miners

You will have to run an Office application once as Administrator. Right-click on the Winword.exe shortcut or the actual .exe file and choose "Run as Administrator". Click "Continue" in the UAC dialog. The EULA information should properly be registered.

You must accept the Office End User License Agreement every time that you start an Office program

...calling Microsoft.

I've heard that they provide support free of charge for issues regarding licensing and activation.

Will, I really have to "accept" the end-user agreement EVERYTIME I open Word and Outlook?

Not if you follow the instructions that I have provided. It is probably because you are logged on with a standard User Account that you are getting these messages.

can you tell me where to find winword.exe shortcut?

by mishwine

would I find winword.exe in my control panel in programs?

by rob miners

and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 and scroll to the bottom if it is sorted alphabetically. Right mouse click on winword.exe and select Run As, tick the box to the left of The following user: Type in Administrator if it isn't already selected and type in the password and click OK.
