This behavior occurs if your user account does not have permissions to modify the Microsoft Windows Registry.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. 1. Log on to the computer by using an Administrator user account. 2. If you are using Microsoft Windows XP, click
Start, click
Run, type regedit, and then click
OK. If you are using Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, type regedt32.
Note In Windows Vista, you may receive a
User Account Control (UAC) dialog box. You must click
Continue or
Cancel to open Registry Editor. 3. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey as appropriate. • For the 2007 Microsoft Office suites:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0
• For Microsoft Office 2003:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0
• For Microsoft Office 2002:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0
• For Microsoft Office 2000:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
4. Click
Permissions. 5. Click
Users (Computer_name\Users), and then click to select the
Allow check box for the
Full Control permission. 6. Click
OK, and then quit Registry Editor. 7.
Start an Office program, and then accept the End User License Agreement.
Make sure that the Office installation is activated properly by opening Help in any Office program and clicking on Activate. It should say it is already ativated. You cannot activate the retail version of Office 2003 on more than one desktop computer unless it is removed from the first one. Perhaps that is why the license agreement comes up each time. Or it could be this as the other poster said but this is the correct KB article:
