How can I get past this?

When I tried to activate it through the internet, it said that this is already on another computer... because it is.

You may not be allowed to install this version of Publisher on multiple computers. You should then acquire another license for the software. However, if you feel this error to be in order, simply contact Microsoft by phone (I believe Office XP may be installed on two computers but the second one must be activated by phone).

you can get past it... but it is complicated, i dont know how to do it, but we have a version of WinXP that doesnt need to be activated... so it's definately possible... you'll probably have to buy another licence for it?

or download Openoffice?

ya i get that message too...but i just press cancel everytime...we got the MS office cd's from my dad's boss for free but we have installed it on 3 different computers.

Cancel? It says you can open Publisher 50 times before it becomes a "document viewer". You can only open Publisher, not edit.

Get past it = illegal, unless you follow Tochjo's ways.
