SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to start Microsoft Project 2000, you may be prompted to register from the Office Registration Wizard before you can use the program.



CAUSE
This prompt appears when you install the full package Microsoft Project 2000, Service Release 1 (SR-1) product.

NOTE: This prompt does not appear when you update Microsoft Project 2000 by using the Microsoft Project 2000 SR-1 Update.



MORE INFORMATION
The Office Registration Wizard is a new anti-piracy technology in shrink-wrapped Microsoft Office 2000 products that is incorporated in Microsoft Project 2000 SR-1. The wizard is designed to be simple and unobtrusive while protecting customer privacy by allowing anonymous registration. When you install the product, you are asked to register. You can register via the Internet, e-mail, phone, fax, or postal mail.

You can use the product up to 50 times without registering, after which you must register in order to continue using the product. When you register, you are asked to provide a 16-character installation ID and the name of the country/region from which you are registering. The Microsoft Registration Center returns an eight-character confirmation code that verifies installation of the product.
