There is no way I can ask this question without sounding like I'm trying out some warez. I'm not, this is a real situation, however I do understand that this might break some forum rules. If this gets out of hand please close the thread.
Anyway, I have a legitimate copy of Office 2003. My boss hooked all of the techs up with a copy of his Technet version. I have no idea if this violates some technet EULA, if it does that I'm SOL. Assuming I'm still in the clear I'll continue. I installed Office some 2 years ago, since then I've received a new system, I reinstalled Office and the activation check fails. Since it's not my Technet subscription I can't really call MS. But I am wondering, is there a place in my old system that stored the activation info? If there is can I just copy that activation folder into my new computer and cause it to be reactivated?
