    Do you actually own a license for the full version of office rather than just a trial? If it came with the PC it's likely to be a trial.

    When you try to 'activate' MS Office it should give you the option to activate by phone. Use the UK phone number to explain the situation to them.

    IT thinks you're running it on 2 machines...the lucence is only for one. A phone call will fix it.
    Licences only work once ..people trying to steal software don't ring up the makers so they will believe you...the guy from Adobe told me that when i had a similar problem with Photoshop.
