Go to the following Mactopia page & follow the instructions to sign up for
the monthly newsletter... It amounts to the same thing as "Registration":

I have the same problem, when online registering my office 2008, the process
in mactopia takes forever and never been done. i had try 3 times.
I understand that it wouldn't impact my office for mac. but, i need to
ensure all process had done smoothly. i feel comfort if this online
registration can be done.

Hi,Thanks, Michel. But it seems like the next problem still cannot be fixed.
you need to make a distinction here between the registration key and the
registration process. You cannot run two versions of any Office apps using
the same registration key on the same network simultaneously. The
registration key is used to activate your product and is therefore
necessary; the online registration process, however, is not. Registration
simply means you sign up for the Office for Mac newsletter; it is absolutely
not required to run Office and can be skipped unless you absolutely want to
receive the newsletter. This is one area in which the Mac version of Office
differs from the Windows version; you do not need to activate your product
online, and it will work regardless of whether it has been registered or
not.

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
After I reinstalled the OS system of my MacBook Pro, I reinstalled the
Office
2008 for Mac by using the wrong product key (which has been used on another
MacBook). So after couple times of using the Word, the notebook said I
could
not open the Word file again cause the registration has been used by
another
computer. Then, I started to uninstall the Office and then reinstall it
again
by following the mactopia instructions, of course, using the product key I
first time applied on this MacBook Pro. However, when I tried to do the
online
registration, the process ran forever. What was happening? Will it hurt my
documents or any of my files? Also, a message saying something like the
data
of the scrapbook cannot be obtained. What was going on? Anyone can kindly
tell
me what I should do now please? Thanks!

When I turn on the toolbox of the Word and click the scrapbook, there is a
message saying 'the client cannot be shown because necessary support files
cannot be found.' Then, ask me to reinstall the Office again. Should I
reinstall it one more time?
