Put the CD in CD drive and begin installation.

At the prompt, enter the 25 character "product key" printed on the back of the jewel case.

At first launch of the product, a dialog box appears, indicating that the user must now register:

"Registering Microsoft Office 2000 will give you access to update information, product support, and the Office Update Web site. Microsoft Office 2000 will run 49 more times before you will be required to register for this product."

The Privacy Policy is briefly mentioned, and the screen text indicates where to go for more information. If the Internet registration option is not chosen, additional options are listed; email, postal mail, telephone, and FAX. User enters first name, last name, "company" (meaning the institution s/he is attending) address, phone, email, etc.

A dialog box gives installation and confirmation ID #'s. If the user is registering offline, the user is given the confirmation number over the telephone or sent via postal mail or FAX.

At the next product launch, if the registration was successful, the registration screens are no longer displayed.

Users are not required to provide personal information and can register anonymously. The minimum information required for a successful registration is the Installation ID and country in which they reside.

Users registering offline (without Internet access) may call Microsoft at 1-888-652-2342.

If, after two installations, a registration fails, the user will be prompted to call the Microsoft Customer Service Center and explain the need to install for a third time. The Registration Wizard will allow routine changes in hardware so that users can upgrade their computer without having to re-register.
