This is exactly what has happened on my dads computer.

His Office 03 has been working ever since he got the laptop. Just now, it is saying that it's not genuine.
Strange....

The installed Office 2003 may have a blocked Volume Licence Key, (VLK). This may be because the supplier of the computer had not paid Microsoft for sufficient number of licenses, or at all. In fact they may have been using a VLK that belonged to a different supplier.

Anyway, I won't say here what I think about WGA or how it intersects (or doesn't!) with my privacy concerns and strategies...
