Allow me to load Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 so that I can use it over some number of time.  It is a new disk, not an upgrade, but it will not accept the 25 digit number that it came with.  I have tried approximately 20 times with the correct number supplied.

Usually this issue occurs due to multiple instances of Office installed in the computer.

Click on Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Search for all the Microsoft Office applications listed. Uninstall the Microsoft Office applications in the list including 2007 Microsoft Office System (trial).

If uninstall fails using Programs and Features then Download and save the Fix-It tool from the link below:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179

Right click the Fix-It file and run as administrator

(NOTE:  Fix-It works only in a 32-bit operating system.)

To check the type of the operating system click on Start > Right-click Computer > select Properties

NOTE: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. It is strongly recommended that you back up the registry before you modify it. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Back-up-the-registry

Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk

To remove Office 2007 in a 64-bit operating system follow the steps in the link below:

Once Office 2007 trial is removed, install Office 2007 Ultimate using the disc. For more help on installing Office 2003 check the link below:

    Hello,

    I have a new laptop and have my disk.  When I open the  Activation Wizard, it says the specific Product Key has already been activated the maximum number of time.

    How can I work around this?

    Why do some people even mention the registry. This is too dangerous for the average user and completely unneccessary?

    You might want to check on the product key again.

    Please be careful when entering your product key, it needs to match exactly.  The number '8' can look very similar to the letter 'B' and vice versa.

    Sounds like you might have another version of Office on your pc and it is getting confused. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall all entries of Office. Reinstall the Ultimate and apply the product key.
