That explains it. They gave up that version of the VL of Office 2003 Pro and switched to the Enterprise.
Your key will now not work anymore and you either have to get the Enterprise version from them with a new key or purchase a retail version of Office Pro with a license

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. The company is still in business and I'm still
employed by them. I just checked their HUP site and they are now only
offering Office Enterprise 2007 as a download so that could explain it. The
majority (thousands of people) of the company still uses Office 2003 with the
exception of a few users testing 2007.
I can understand one of the reasons you mentioned causing Office to fail
activation but why would it fail installation, I thought these were two
seperate processes like it is with the installation of Windows itself. Is it
possible that Microsoft sent an invalid key or they key for a different
product? I will also check with our IT dept.
Thanks,
Matt

Could be many reasons for this.Best to contact the IT person at the Company from
where you purchased it through the Home Use Program
Some of the possible reasons:
Company has closed down
Company stopped issuing that version of Office for the Home Use Program
Company is not using that Office version anymore
You already activated once before
And many more possibilities
